Darfur Dream Team Fundraiser


UPDATE: The fundraiser was a great success. My print was auctioned off and raised $200 for the children of Darfur. The event raised over $1500 for the Darfur Dream Team. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success.

If you live in San Francisco, Darfur Dream Team will be having a fundraiser at The Mint Karaoke Bar on Wednesday, June 10. 

I will be donating a print for their raffle to help raise funds for the youth of Eastern Chad. I will be donating this print "Diaspora". This print was inspired by my trip to the Museum of African Diaspora in San Francisco.

Every dollar raised helps the Youth of Darfur - $6 buys a textbook - $10 buys a basketball - $20 buys a desk ...

Homeless Winter Warm Up - a Success!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to my Homeless Winter Warm Up and donated a scarf from their closet or a beanie from their hat rack this year. Thanks to you, we were able to pass out scarves to the homeless to help keep them warm this winter.

Here are some of the scarves we collected and simply bundled up with blue ribbon. 

I went out with my friend, Bruno, on Christmas day to Civic Center in San Francisco and passed several scarves out to the homeless men and women in the city. It was wonderful to see the peoples faces light up with such surprise and appreciation. It is so rewarding and touching to see happiness in the faces of people who are alone and often forgotten on holidays. I also passed scarves out in the Mission District on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Thanks to your generosity over thirty people are going to have a warmer winter this year in San Francisco.

I am grateful for your support and so are they. Thanks again for your support.

Remeber, We Are the Weapon.
