possible ventures- any suggestions?

In thinking about what direction I wanted to go with this weekend, I struggled with a direction to move forward in. I talked with some friends and family about the possible favorites and narrowed it down to a few choices.

My first idea was to create a company that provides/distributes sketchbooks to kids around the world that don't have art programs in their schools or are unable to participate because of financial reasons. I know that art programs have always been a huge part of my family and being allowed to express that creativity definitely helped in choosing a career path I know that many kids don't have that same exposure. As far as names go, I was thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of sketchLife- to show how art can change your view on life. Not sure on the name yet, any suggestions?

C.R.E.A.T.E. (compelling reasons every artist teaches each other)
The second was to start a group that would work to bring creativity into the public schools. The company would arrange for artists and designers to come into the schools and give seminars/ discussions/ classes to the students on a regular basis to encourage "out-of-the-box" thinking and quiet the notion that one can't make a living being an artist.

The third idea I had was to start a gallery which would show jewelry crafted by jewelers around the country with profits going to help victims of assault. I haven't figured out if this would be more of an organization which hosts and auctions off pieces during events or if this would work better as an actual gallery open to the daily public.
