The arts project has received a big boost over the past few days. Firstly, the fundraising performance by Derek Gripper and Udai Mazumdar was a huge success, bringing a total of R500 which will be used to purchase additional supplies with the balance being carried over for investment in the publication and distribution of the project outcomes.
Nieu Bethesda resident Theresa Hardman donated a box of art supplies including paints, dye, glue, and brushes and guests Marlise Richter and Marc Lewis also donated stationary including colored paper, scissors, glue colored pencils and wax crayons. These donations while seemingly insignificant to some make a huge difference to the arts project which was started with no resources other than borrowed scissors, discarded cardboard boxes and a notepad. Benoit Know from BK Publishing also donated 130 copies of a book of short stories entitled ‘Metz and Bop’.
My thanks and the thanks of all the children involved are extended to these generous individuals.
