We are a rather new 501(C)3 charitable organization operating from Portland , OR . Our mission is to give aid to at-risk youth and young adults in the West African Region, starting in Ghana .
At this time, we will be focusing our assistance with the purchase of school supplies (pencils, paper, books, etc.), school uniforms, shoes, and school fees. Potentially, we will direct some effort toward school renovation, repairs and upgrades. Our future plans will also expand to address other areas, such as non-traditional forms of education, micro-economic & vocational development, and greater resource assistance to children already living on the streets.
We are an all volunteer organization committed to creating a positive change in the lives of as many West African children as possible. We believe that this can this be accomplished by breaking the chains of poverty and obtaining an education,. Sometimes a huge life change only requires a few dollars and a supportive environment.
An education is vital for all children. Statistically, in Ghana there are approximately 33,000 street children in the capital of Accra alone. These children range in age from 5 -17 years of age and the majority are children between the ages of 14-17. Of these children, 75% are girls and are subsequently affected more than boys. At the national level, there are only minor differences in the enrolment rates of boys & girls. However, among street children, 70% of the girls have never attended school while the same is true for only 9% of the boys. This means, that if girls attend school, the likelihood of becoming street children is substantially reduced." (FAFO Research Project on Trafficking and Child Labor, 2005 - Please see our "Learn More" page for the link to the full report.) This illustrates the need for an access to education and resources.
We started this charity because we were frustrated at seeing things that could be fixed and yet are not being fully addressed. This is our chance to make a significant difference in many children's lives. With your help we can!

I believe the start of this new collection has shown a little growth in my. I never used to draw faces in my abstract works, but I've been taking a figure drawing class that really opened my eyes to the "FACE" and all of it's beauty.....I really wanted to challenge myself, and I did in a way. When Obama was running and when he got elected I really got inspired to just do what I do, do it well, and be successful. So this next collection will be filled with I think what will be some my best work. Thanks for reading!!! :D
