Day 30: International Creativity Month


For one month each year the world celebrates International Creativity Month - a month to remind individuals and organizations around the globe to capitalize on the power of creativity.
Unleashing creativity is vital for the personal and business success in this age of accelerating change. International Creativity Month was founded by Randall Munson and is celebrated around the world annually in the month of January. Take advantage of International Creativity Month to refocus your attention to creatively improve your business and personal activities.

As a teacher working with children with special needs, it becomes important that whatever I can do help those with disabilities, with special needs, I will and do so continuously. Today’s donation is given to Our Time.  Our Time is a non-profit organization that uses the arts to improve the confidence and communication skills of children who stutter. It is estimated that more than 60 million people in the world stutter, including 5% of all children. In a world that can be unkind to those who are different, kids who stutter often struggle to step out of the shadows of shyness and shame, and find the courage to express their unique and important voices. Through a local New York City-based program and a summer camp open to children from around the nation and abroad, Our Time helps young people transform their fear and shame from stuttering into confidence and determination to reach their fullest potential.  Our Time participants gain enriching friendships and experience tangible success, giving them the confidence to overcome the challenges presented by stuttering.  

Donation: $5
