Here’s a cool site that combines charity and some pretty amazing Shona African art. This is one of those ideas that’s worth spreading: Africans helping Africans.
Basically, the way it works is that world-class stone carvers in Zimbabwe make art, it gets sold into fancy markets around the world, and then money gets turned around back to support the artists and provide health supplies to kids with malaria. There’s a better explanation here. Neat stuff.
Here’s a few samples of the art and artists:
Again – part of the money from each sculpture at this site goes toward sending anti-malaria supplies so kids can live and grow up and stuff.
Not bad, eh?
