“Childhood Dreams Grow” by Tina Struthers http://www.tinastruthers.com Education for girls and young women. The hearts of all children are full of dreams, and the magic of all the possibilities in the world. We need to take responsibility to help nurture and nourish the dreams of all young girls, to help them to develop and grow into woman that can be independent, make their own choices, and ultimately make a difference to the world! Woman that will weave together our society, and makes it whole, woman that hold families together and thus transfer and protect the incredible wealth of diverse cultural heritage around the world, for future generations. By empowering girls and young woman with education, and skills, we give them an opportunity to be, to grow wings, and to take flight. Mixed media textile instillation: The instillation portrays a young girl ( universal), pulling her dreams with her. With education the world becomes a truly is a magical place.
