The International Children's Art Exchange (ICAE) is a non-profit program that provides an opportunity for children to receive artwork from other children all over the world so that they can learn about life in other countries, see what other children care about and what they like to do and, are motivated to learn about world geography. The ICAE has been offering an exhange of artwork to children for about 20 years now. Schools, churches, and groups of individuals around the world send pictures to Cherry Lee (the founder)at one location (La Jolla, Ca, USA). After pictures are received, a group of volunteers work with Cherry Lee to sort the art into packages for participants. Each package has pictures from as many countries around the world as possible. The organization makes every effort to select art to match the number of pictures sent and the ages of children of the participating organizations. ~ from the ICAE brochure.
