We don't just offer assistance and free education; we ignite creativity.
2024 Summer Program
Every summer, Seedling Sun proudly presents a diverse array of workshop series, designed to ignite the imaginations of young minds and cultivate their creative talents. Our offerings span an impressive range of subjects—from the art of creative storytelling and the intricacies of illustrating stories to the techniques of sketching, the vibrant world of watercolor, the rhythm of poetry, the craft of essay writing, and the fascinating realm of robotics. Each workshop is meticulously crafted to not only inspire but also to enhance students' skills in design, illustration, and writing.
The response to these workshops is nothing short of extraordinary. Within moments of announcing new sessions, spots are claimed, and our waitlists grow rapidly as eager students vie for a chance to participate. The enthusiasm from both students and parents is a testament to the value of these free workshops. Parents consistently express their appreciation for the positive impact these sessions have on their children's creative and intellectual growth. Meanwhile, students immerse themselves in learning, emerging with newfound confidence and a deeper passion for their crafts.
Volunteers from Seedling Sun are deeply committed to sharing their knowledge and nurturing children to become creative thinkers and innovators. They provide students with the tools and inspiration needed to explore their full potential. Our workshops are more than just classes—they are a vibrant community where young talents flourish, united by a shared passion for learning and creativity
New Books
Volunteers never stop working on their new books, stories, and illustrations. They are never discouraged by the time it takes to create a digital illustration book. Their passion for writing and art always drives them to generate new ideas and explore new topics to write and draw. Go check out our online library.
Sending greeting cards to Hosptial
The holidays are a perfect time to thank your medical team. Seedling Sun Foundation not only donates greeting cards made by volunteers but also organizes kids to write heartfelt messages to doctors and nurses, decorating the envelopes with their favorite drawings and paintings. This is our way of showing appreciation for healthcare workers and supporting them as they help cancer patients in their fight.

Fundraising for Good Causes
Many thanks to the Old Pearland Farmers Market for letting us set up a booth yesterday. We had a lot of fun selling our holiday cards, bookmarks, and flower frames. We are very grateful for everyone who bought our original designs and crafts. This was our first time selling our products at local market, and the neighboring booths were incredibly supportive and friendly. It was a great learning experience, and we are looking forward to the next time.

In our first-ever writing competition, we were truly amazed by the imaginative and creative prowess exhibited by the students. Their creation of beautiful and unique short stories was infused with passion and depth, showcasing their enthusiasm and fervor for storytelling. These narratives vividly conveyed their depth of emotion and creativity. We strongly believe that given the right opportunities and guidance, anyone holds the potential to evolve into a skilled storyteller.
Summer Reading & Writing Program
Our initiative proudly organized and hosted a complimentary reading and creative writing program tailored local summer camp students. This program aimed to provide free access to literary resources and nurturing the creative potential within each participant.
Throughout the sessions, students were immersed in a supportive environment that encouraged a love for reading and cultivated their writing skills.
