This was a return visit for us; we had been there in 2007 on our first West Coast tour. Despite the long absence, we were remembered and invited back.<\/p>\n<p>Since Solutions For Change is a transitional program for families without homes, we had a lot of fun with all the kids. Unlike the adults, they needed very little coaxing to get them started. Some kids completed four or five drawings!<\/p>\n<p>Although it was sometimes hard to keep track of them, I think we had about 12 kids and 5 adults all together. Everyone had a lot of fun. As the opportunity arose, we interviewed and filmed participants and captured some great footage. Consequently, we are editing the film and hope to compile a short video soon. When it i completed, we will post it on this site and also on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Hearts-Of-Fire-Project\/89773729521\">Face Book page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A big thank you to all the wonderful staff and residents at Solutions For Change for allowing us to contribute to the great work you are all doing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/p1010005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1657\" title=\"p1010005\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/p1010005-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"p1010005\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/p1010006.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1658\" title=\"p1010006\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/p1010006-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"p1010006\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/p1010007.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1659\" title=\"p1010007\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/p1010007-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"p1010007\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/p1010004.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1660\" title=\"p1010004\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/p1010004-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"p1010004\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>And a very special thanks from Solutions For Change!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/bob-ballard-art-workshop.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-1666\" title=\"bob-ballard-art-workshop\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/bob-ballard-art-workshop-790x1024.jpg\" alt=\"bob-ballard-art-workshop\" width=\"790\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/bob-ballard-art-workshop-790x1024.jpg 790w, https:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/bob-ballard-art-workshop-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/www.heartsoffireproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/bob-ballard-art-workshop.jpg 1275w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, February 28, we conducted an art empowerment workshop with some wonderful people at Solutions For Change in Vista, CA.
