McKenzie and the Magical Crown

About the Book

McKenzie loved surprises. The best surprise was receiving a magical crown. Could she really do good for others by wearing a magical crown?

Art Creation Foundation for Children (ACFFC), is an arts based non-profit organization created for the personal growth, empowerment, and education of children in need in Jacmel, Haiti. ACFFC provides art instruction, tutoring, medical care, daily food and water, and educational expenses for students in the program. ACFFC is a pacifist, apolitical, nongovernmental organization with no religious organization affiliations.

Our mission is to build a passionate community of future leaders, visionaries, and dynamic thinkers who are empowered to better their lives and their world through the arts and education in Jacmel, Haiti. It matters because ACFFC is not a temporary response to an unconquerable problem; we are a dynamic solution. Rather than hand out a temporary fix, we focus on empowering our students with the tools to create their own reality and decide the course of their lives. Armed with autonomy, voice, and education, our students are shaping their own narratives.
