The Children's Art Village (CAV) is a 501(c)3 tax exempt non-profit organization registered in the State of California. Together with their partners in the United States as well as in third world countries, CAV initiates and implements art curricula in orphanages throughout the world. The Children's Art Village is a humanitarian organization and has no religious affiliations. The organization's leadership team has been working to bring art curricula to orphaned children around the world since 2005. Beginning in Vietnam, CAV has branched out, and launched an art program at the Village of Hope orphanage in Ghana in the August of 2007. Our journey continues forward in 2008 to include an art camp in Cambodia. At the Children's Art Village, their vision is to connect children to themselves and to their creative spirits through art. Their focus is to use art & music as mediums of expression to initiate the process of healing for children who have been abandoned. They promote and support creating and maintaining sustainable art & music programs in each of the different locations around the world where we work.
