Hi, I'm a high school senior at Moorestown Friends School. I love art and medicine, so I decided to create Uplift Art Initiative to combine my two passions for my senior Capstone project. I hope to go into the medical field as a pediatrician. I currently volunteer at a local hospital in the Emergency Department, so I understand the anxiety patients have while there.

The Uplift Art Initiative is a senior Capstone project that aims to help ease the anxiety many children feel when they are patients in a hospital. These art bags can provide a way to entertain them while letting their creativity flow. Each bag will have age-appropriate materials divided into four age groups (infant-3, 4-7, 8-12, 13+). Ev
The Uplift Art Initiative is a senior Capstone project that aims to help ease the anxiety many children feel when they are patients in a hospital. These art bags can provide a way to entertain them while letting their creativity flow. Each bag will have age-appropriate materials divided into four age groups (infant-3, 4-7, 8-12, 13+). Every dollar goes to creating another bag to help another child patient.
