Athena Chen, 16, of Carrollton, TX, a junior at Hebron High School, co-founded "Paint the World," a project that has brought art lessons to more than 500 children in need. Athena, who helped raise more than $1,000 to support the program, worked with friends to design the program which features different stations where the children could work on sketching, sculpting, acrylic painting, yarn-making and other art forms.
