Update #1: Goal Met! Donations Continue.

Posted on November 24, 2009

Thanks so much to everyone involved--we have officially met our goal of $1,000! This donation drive alone will fund a Bright Ideas Grant to an entire community development project, which we'll keep our backers updated on.

Still, the drive continues! Every dollar counts towards purchasing more artwork from disadvantaged artisans and using sales towards providing grants. Please keep spreading the word!

NEW! Promote Africa T-Shirts. They're really well-designed--please check them out.
