"Recycle"

Created by Zi Ying Li, age 5, this artwork highlights the importance of caring for our world and one another. With vibrant crayon drawings of children thoughtfully recycling, paired with the elegance of Chinese calligraphy, Zi Ying reminds us that stewardship of the earth begins with even the smallest hands. Her joyful depiction of sharing responsibility reflects a truth both simple and profound—that when we use resources wisely, we create a future where every child can thrive.

This piece is part of the Kai Ming Head Start Auction, benefiting a San Francisco nonprofit that serves low-income families with children from three months to five years old. More than a drawing, it is a call to action: a reminder that the lessons of responsibility, care, and respect for the world around us begin in childhood.

By supporting this work, you are nurturing not only a child’s artistic spirit but also the values that sustain communities and safeguard tomorrow.
