Upcoming Travels
and New Alliances
Travel plans are underways for our return trip to Africa this summer to deliver 200 Animals for Africa to the children at the community based child care centers in Tukumbo Village and the Manja Care Orphanage in Blantyre, Malawi. 
Our menagerie of hand-crafted animals keeps growing, and thanks to our ambassadors and friends, we already have nearly 80 animals in the stable, almost half way to our goal! That's a lot of "love made tangible" ! I can barely wait to see the smiles it will bring, each time I put a cuddly, one-of-kind animal creation into the hands of the child it was made for! While we're in Malawi, we'll be checking in with the women of Tukombo Village to see how things are shaping up with their animal crafting cooperative (or Animal C.O.O.P), and to offer additional training and supplies. We've also been invited by the director of In Movement: Art for Social Change to Uganda and the founder of Cross Cultural Collaborative to Ghana, with a lot of potential brewing to create Animals for Africa for the children there and seed Animal COOPs in those communities! We'll keep you posted on how these new alliances and travel plans shape up! In the meantime, let us know if you have even an inkling of joining us in Malawi, Ghana or Uganda!
