Zanmi Lakay

This Saturday and Sunday November 28th and 29th!

Zanmi Lakay will have our biggest sale of the year at this event, and since we’re gearing up for our January/February trip to Haiti we really need to sell some art. Come on over to Berkeley and support the kids and many other fantastic nonprofits selling really great items, have some tea, and do some quality holiday shopping. Zanmi Lakay will have paper maché fish ornaments made by children in Jacmel along with our usual painted recycled metal art, Vodou flags, beaded purses, traditional metal art, etc. Flyer attached to print out and post. This is a free event. Please pass this on!

We are collecting digital cameras for our Photography Workshops with children – please check around for cameras you and friends are no longer using so street children in Haiti can put them to good use!

EBSC’s 17th Annual

International Holiday Crafts Fair 2009

Saturday November 28 and Sunday November 29

10:00 am – 3:00 pm both days

The First Congregational Church

2345 Channing Way at Dana in Berkeley

Unique art and world crafts from Africa, Kurdistan, Central America, Haiti, Palestine, Asia, Guatemala, Afghanistan, Mexico, and Tibet

Purchases provide artisans with fair wages and proceeds benefit local refugee work, women’s coops in Central America, Asia and Africa, and two organizations supporting children in Haiti.

We are gearing up for our January/February 2010 trip to Haiti and have at least two Photo Workshops planned (with the possibility of  two more) and digital cameras are needed so that every child in the group can have a camera to use. We also need sd and flash cards. All help is greatly appreciated and all donations are tax deductible. Check out the children’s work in the galleries.  Thanks everyone!
