I am in awe of these kid's work. Such colors, such maturity. We commissioned some artwork from the Hard Life Artists in Tanzania. They are street kids that are artists and have created a company that holds workshops to teach other kids art. They are truly giving back to the community. Many of these children can't even afford pencils, let alone paint and canvas, so being able to learn to paint is such a light in their difficult lives. We believe in these kids and Frank asked them to paint the alphabet and murals on the inside of the school. We bought the supplies and they donated their time.
And now we have these incredible pieces available to YOU! I want to plaster my apartment with them, but that wouldn't really help our cause any, would it? hahaha.... instead, I've created a page here on the website showcasing all of the art we have left. For $100 donation, you pick which one you want. We have a variety of artists and styles. We even have art made from banana leaves- each detail being a separate piece of leaf. Amazing. Six donations for these paintings will cover the costs to fix all three bathrooms at the school. Fifteen more and we can build the kitchen that will feed up to 80 children, two meals a day. I know there are so many fundraisers and so many causes and we are constantly bombarded with give here, donate there.... so what can I say to make you want to help get this school up and running? We are not a big organization. We don't have the manpower to hold large fundraising events. But we do have beautiful paintings. :) If you cannot take us up on this offer, please send to all art lovers, Africa lovers, children and animal lovers (we have two dogs!)... we desperately need your help to spread the word in order to keep the project going.
With deepest gratitude.
