Happy Monday!
We are excited to invite each of you to our annual silent auction on Sunday December 8th, at Jax Café in Minneapolis at 4 PM. The Silent Auction is our primary fundraiser where we will raise money for this year’s non-profit connection and for our travels to Kenya this January.
We are excited to announce our new non-profit connection for 2024-25: Alfajiri Street Kids Art. Alfajiri Street Kids Art is a registered community-based organization in Nairobi, Kenya founded and directed by Lenore Boyd, an artist and volunteer.
We will be partnering with Alfajiri to support their mission of providing street children with an opportunity for artistic expression such as painting, drawing, dance, martial arts, and music. However, Alfajiri is at risk of closing its doors as sponsorships have declined due to both local and international economic crises. There are also environmental factors that have led to an increase in the need for Alfajiri’s help. While the organization is working to build a sustainable social enterprise to address these challenges, the immediate needs of local children and families must be met.
We will be aiding Alfajiri not only with financial support but also by sending four of our students to assist on-site. The travelers will help facilitate art programs and work alongside Lenore Boyd and her team to provide resources and support for the children. Together, we hope to ensure that Alfajiri Street Kids Art continues to offer hope and opportunities to the children it serves, while building a more sustainable future for the organization and the community.
At our silent auction, there will be a variety of baskets including three main sections:
1.????Student art/Student venture products
2.????Business donations
3.????Handmade Art pieces directly from the children at Alfajiri Street Kids Art
