Recycling and Healing through Art in a Township


Join a dynamic team of creative geniuses who think out of the box and create beautiful art pieces out of recycled materials.  The recycled items are collected from beach clean ups and recycling co-ops. The produced art works are then sold and the funds are used to sponsor art lessons to the local township children.  Art is used to lighten their load, it enables the kids to bring all their struggles and stress and express them in a way that they would not normally be able to do.
