Transcript: Children for Children Art and Mindfulness Interactive Exhibitions Charities Culture An education programme 'Children for Children' that connects diverse cultures with Art and Mindfulness. Our mission is to raise profit for children's charities through exhibitions and interacting with programmed work. Through creative, courageous and collaborative activities we aim to bridge the gap between social disadvantage and society.
