Art for Rwanda Benefit

I recently had the privilege of supporting the Art for Rwanda benefit event, held at the Park Forest UMC Church. The day offered many items for sale, donated by local artists, as well as many hand-crafted items, like baskets, ornaments and aprons, made by the women and children of Rwanda. There were many wonderful displays featuring information about Rwanda, their culture, the country and we were treated to dancing performances by some talented Rwandan dancers.  Coordinator, Carol Falke, and all the volunteers did an amazing job!

Proceeds from the sale went to a fund to build a 3rd grade classroom in Rwanda. The event was well-attended and I had a great time helping with set-up and working the art sales room with other volunteers.
