Children Mending Hearts Inc.
Children Mending Hearts is dedicated to combating bullying and intolerance by inspiring empathy in children through art and service-learning programs
Filmmaker Lysa Heslov and her husband Grant founded Children Mending Hearts (CMH) when, after visits to Sudan and Darfur, Lysa began to dream of ways to empower children everywhere and teach them how to become empathetic global citizens through art, creativity, and connectivity.
CMH has now helped thousands of children across the US for over 12 years, combating bullying and intolerance by inspiring empathy in children through art and service-learning programs. It seeks to empower at-risk children by connecting them with other children across the US and beyond.
Lysa's dream is to inspire future generations of compassionate and socially conscious citizens who will have a culture of empathy and action. She believes that empathy is transformative; that it can reduce the chance of a child being bullied, enable world leaders to find peaceful solutions, inspire nations to open their doors to families fleeing war and violence, and inspire future generations of loving and compassionate global citizens. She believes that empathy can change the world, and so do we.
