Anne London and Jim Hart, the founders of Arts for animals completed a six week tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe, visiting partner organizations and delivering much needed art supplies, program materials, wristbands, and teaching aids. Staff training demonstrations were made with partner organizations in Victoria, Falls, Zambia, and areas around Kruger Park in South Africa. It was an exhilarating ,but exhausting experience working with, and developing new program elements, training staff and developing more interesting and efficient creative educational activities for all the children involved. Thanks to our partnerships with Seeds Of Light foundation, Timbavati foundation, Bush Babies foundation, Painted Dog Conservation, Global Conservation Corps, and Children In The Wilderness, Arts for animals is reaching over 5000 children each year with conservation stewardship lessons and introducing them to the magic of art and creativity. We leave to go out west to deliver Art, draw wildlife, and visit our galleries in only three weeks, so I better get packing for that now. Hope to get back to this sometime soon.........
