Celebrate the Gulf Drawings

Dozens of kids added their drawings to the project on March 31st at the Celebrate the Gulf Festival in Pass Christian, Mississippi. The youngest -- barely walking -- were just happy to play with crayons and markers. The pre-school age kids were prompted to draw what they love the most about the Gulf, the ocean, the beach. Elementary and Middle School age kids were asked to remember back to the oil spill and draw what they hoped to see or do in the Gulf as it recovered from the oil spill. Many thanks to all the kids who contributed their drawings to the project and made our table cloth AWESOME!, all the relatives and friends who waited patiently for the artists to finish their work, and the folks at Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve for letting Children of the Spills be a part of this event.

Here are a few of the drawings. The other half can be seen here.
