Drawchange: Empowering Children Through the Use of Art
Art Beyond Borders, Ethiopia 2019
In May, 2019 I had the unique opportunity to travel to Ethiopia and spend 10 days working, playing and making art with children in Kara Kore, one of the poorest areas in the city of Addis Ababa. This experience was incredible – both with its joys and its sorrows. At times, being there was hard but nowhere near as difficult as coming home, yet I find myself drawn back to Ethiopia to the bright smiles and dancing eyes of the children and experiencing the magic in making art together again.
If you are interested in supporting my travel back to Ethiopia to make art with the children in Kara Kore, please contact me.
If you are interested in supporting my effort to bring art to the children in Kara Kore, please contact me.

Thank you!
