Mari’s Children
Paying it Forward - Each student at the Green School pays it forward by sending a child to school for a year in Chiang Mai Thailand. This in included in the yearly tuition at The Green School.
Presently we have sent 100 + children to school since 2004 when our organization was founded. Mari's Children is a not-for-profit organization founded by Mari Linnman, the owner of The Art Farms and The Green School. In addition funds are raised from our preschool at The Art Farm in the City as well as from summer camp at The Art Farm.
Mari's Children is an integral part of The Art Farm's philosophy of helping others. We are a completely volunteer organization that works with children in need all over the world. Our current projects are in Sri Lanka, Thailand and Costa Rica.
We raise our funds through our annual Summer Carnival. At our Summer Carnival we invite all of the children in the community, so they can join the fun as well as help children around the world.
The Art Farm has a second location on the Upper East Side in New York City where summer camp, birthday parties, mommy and me classes in art, baking, music and animal care are offered. There is also a toy store inside the facility. *For every family who sends their child to preschool at The Art Farm in the City, Mari’s Children sponsors a child to attend school in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Whether you join camp, preschool, take classes or buy a toy at either The Art Farm in the City or in the Hamptons, you are helping a child in need. Additionally, both companies give a percentage of their annual profits to Mari's Children.
Mari personally sponsors her own trips to visit every project to make sure that every dollar you donate goes directly to children in need.
