Bringing to street children, to orphaned, abandoned and often abused children the “game of painting,” means giving them a parenthesis, in their daily hell, to be themselves in peace and with serenity. Luisa Adami has activated in some of the school centers and shelters supported by Skychildren a space for free and creative painting. Painting without following a model, without programs or a goal to achieve, sheltered from conditioning and judgment, following one's own rhythm, just for one's own pleasure, becomes a very powerful opportunity for self gratification. In a personal journey in which the development of fine manual dexterity goes hand in hand with the growth of the whole person, children feel fully embraced and can increase their self-esteem, sense of responsibility, and a balance that, for example, places a barrier to addictions. Skills hitherto unknown to the child himself can be manifested, and he gains confidence and deep satisfaction. Children too traumatized to speak, children with physical or cognitive disabilities, in recent years are benefiting greatly from the opportunity represented by this project.gioco del dipingere”, significa regalare loro una parentesi, nel loro inferno quotidiano, per essere se stessi in pace e con serenità. Luisa Adami has activated a space for free and creative painting in some of the school centers and shelters supported by Skychildren.
