Sketches for a Cause

Beyond Art's Sake Movement, in coordination with Tsinelas Foundation, has contributed a lot to Nortehanon's Pens of Hope project in Samar. Last December, they also donated writing materials for the distribution in Davao. This time, they will be selling sketches for the daycare kids at Barangay Sawang Calero in Cebu City.

Help us spread the word.

This time, the proceeds will be used to buy pens, pencils and art materials for the Art Therapy Workshop volunteers and local artists will do with the kids in the barangay. So if you buy a sketch, it means you help address the scarcity of writing materials in the Philippines, you help a child develop his artistic skills, you support local artists and of course, you can keep a work of art. Isn't it cool to be hitting four birds at the same time? :)

Sketches will be sold at Turtle's Nest, Gorordo Avenue, Cebu City on May 19, 21, 26 and 28. You may peek at the drawings at http://tinyurl.com/fb-pensofhope.

A Skyscraper of Pencils

Dennis and Jennifer Buckley, a couple from the USA spelled kindness by donating about 150 writing materials, 4 boxes of crayons and a ream of paper to Pens of Hope project this month. Jennifer is the supportive elder sister of Angie, one of the artists/contributors of Beyond Art's Sake movement. Angie's loyalty to the project has always been heartwarming and inspiring for the other volunteers.

Thank you Mr and Ms Buckley!

With the remaining writing materials, the donation will be distributed to the children of Gaisano Relocation, Matina Pangi, Davao City on May 17, 2010. If you remember, this community was the first beneficiary of the project. To read the community's profile, click here.
