Forwarded from Ashfaq Ishaq, executive director of the International Child Art Foundation:

I am pleased to report that the World Children’s Festival [June 22-26, 2007, in D.C.] was a great success. Arts Olympiad finalists and their parents and teachers from 25 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and 32 countries participated in the festival, and so did youth performance groups representing 15 countries. Free and open to the public, the three-day festival occupied from 4th to 7th Streets of the National Mall across from the U.S. Capitol, and attracted as many as 10,000 people. Leading U.S. and international experts on subjects ranging from animation and art therapy to peace and sport therapy held sixty-seven workshops. The ICAF arranged special performances by groups from Nicaragua and Serbia at the John F. Kennedy Center on June 25th evening. The Arts Olympiad finalists received Creativity for Peace Awards on June 26th at a banquet at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City. Festival photos can be viewed at
