Today is Giving Tuesday, an annual day of giving t Today is Giving Tuesday, an annual day of giving that encourages individuals like you to donate to their favorite charities or non-profits. This year we've thought a lot about COMMUNITY. It takes more than a strong staff and board to keep a museum going, and thanks to many people like you in our neighborhood, we came out the other side of the pandemic a stronger organization. We wanted to share some testimonials from members of our own Glens Falls community about what the museum means to them. By donating any amount you are comfortable with, you are helping create a rich community resource that families will love for years to come. Without your support, our work would not be possible.

The World Awareness Children's Museum's mission is The World Awareness Children's Museum's mission is to educate people of all ages about our diverse and exciting world. Sometimes, major international events occur that provide a difficult but necessary avenue to talk about challenging issues and topics. The museum would like to acknowledge the injustice Iranian women and their allies are facing, and we share in their outrage over the death of Mahsa Amini. We wholeheartedly believe that all people should be able to express themselves without fear of violent reprisal, wherever they live. We at the museum promote peace, understanding, and a celebration of diversity. So much of the violence we see in the world comes from a place of fear and misunderstanding, but small conversations with children about the beauty of diversity will help bring about a more peaceful world. We stand with the Iranian people fighting injustice, and we always will. Art from our collection: "Dance & Music" by Roxana Ghaemi, 11 years old. Tehran, Iran, 2010. #Iran #art #mahsaamini #childrensmuseum #museum #ourdiverseworld #injustice #diversity #glensfalls #glensfallsny #wacm
