Artist Veronica Lopez offered to create some original woodcut prints as perks for our IndieGoGo campaign, and in the meantime, gives me and Rumin a quick lesson in printmaking! Super fun!

Safari Soiree- Cocktails and Animal Bingo! August 9!
RSVP HERE! (no ticket purchase necessary!)
We're gathering up our lovingly handcrafted stuffed animals and friends (and animal-like friends!) for a farewell party and fundraiser before delivering our creative collection of creatures to orphaned and vulnerable children in Malawi and Uganda.
Come sip on a sultry, signature "Safari Soiree" cocktail and play a round (or two!) of Animal Bingo (for prizes!) all while mingling with awesome people and munching on yummy samosas! All proceeds from drink, bingo, raffle and food purchases will fund Animals for Africa's mission: to economically empower people through creativity, connection and love by bringing citizens of the world together to create simple, folk-art inspired stuffed animals for vulnerable children in need and to seed sustainable social enterprises for women and youth through artisan training.
RSVP HERE! (no ticket purchase necessary!)
Can't make the party? No problem! You can still help us make Animals for Africa happen by donating through our IndieGoGo campaign.
No cash to spare, but still want to contribute?? Consider offering your professional service, product or original artwork as a raffle or bingo prize! Please contact robbyn@animalsforafrica.org!
Or just show up to show your support and share our work with your friends! We still have a ways to go to reach our goal, so please help spread the word!
Only 21 days left before we Go!Go!
Make a difference in the lives of
women and children and create a worldwide village through art by helping us reach our $10,000 goal on IndieGoGo!
We're so excited and busy, making plans for our trip! So far, we have plane tickets for 2 artist/educators to travel roundtrip between San Francisco and Malawi, Africa. But will still need your support to make our project happen!
