Times and Locations Set!
Fred Mutebi of Let Art Talk has been diligent in linking this project to local schools in the Masaka area. Fred's connections and hard work will enable us to work with 8 area primary and secondary schools. Thanks to the generosity of donators, Becca, Amanda and I have been packing supplies that will be left with each school, encouraging more explorations of art and design. Additionally, we will have the Renewing Material exhibition at two locations on Sunday the 21st, wish us luck as we "travel" it - i.e. packing up the tent, PA system, artwork, tables......in a short amount of time.
I did want to mention a partner organization that has developed a strong relationship with Fred over the past several years, Kinderen van Uganda. They are currently in the process of building a community center in Kibinge, Uganda that we will be using for one of our workshops. Because of their continued work with Fred in the Masaka area, they have become a supporter of this project, you will see them listed on the promotional materials. Here is a link - www.kinderenvanuganda.nl.
One last mention to Erica Egner for her beautiful banner design you see here!
