The 14-year-old girl Susan Davis is having a party. At this party, there are neither cakes nor candles. There is only a room full of art supplies(供應品)and many kids she never met. And all the kids are homeless.

Susan got the idea last year after her school. She worried that kids who could not afford their own supplies would give up drawing. So she started writing letters to big companies to ask for help. Then the girl received lots of donations(贈品)from some of the biggest art supply companies. Susan collected more than $3000 in supplies, enough to make a home for kids to paint their own watercolors.

By far she’s held three parties. What she did was encouraged by the White House. Susan received the President’s awards(獎賞). Now Susan does it for a different reason— to get the poor kids to enjoy art.
