While this time of year is synonymous with giving, organizations around the world spend everyday giving. Volunteers clock in countless hours lifting up those who are less fortunate. During the months of November and December, Children Inspire Design is shining the spotlight on our favorite organizations who show compassion for the earth and all who inhabit it.
PEACEmexico.org- PEACE is a community organization that works hand in hand with underdeveloped communities in Mexico to provide holistic education combined with community action programs enabling people to improve their quality of life as well as their financial stability.

"I have a personal connection with PEACE," says designer Rebecca Peragine. "Particularly the women's cooperative, helping with product development and US marketing."
The cooperative makes our new eco-friendly bird mobile

We all have been saddened by the environmental disaster in the Gulf in recent months (kind of seems like years) and Children Inspire Design wanted to help find a way to raise funds for the Gulf’s victims as well as educate and inspire children to protect our environment.
In an effort to help support the Gulf clean up, Children Inspire Design will be selling signed, limited edition prints of the image you see here. 50% of proceeds will be donated to National Wildlife Federation’s Gulf Oil Spill Restoration Fund. Along with the print, a $10 gift certificate to ChildrenInspireDesign.com will be included.
Let’s teach our children to change the world!
