Ubuntu Institute

I saw Prince Cedza Dlamini speak at Fountain Street Church and care deeply about the programs he has developed to create meaningful changes for people.  Established in 2005, by United Nations’ advocate, Prince Cedza Dlamini, the Ubuntu Institute is an international non-profit development organisation. "Our aim is to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals, a range of ambitious development targets including halving extreme poverty and halting the spread of HIV/AIDS." Read more about the programs through the above link.  You can learn more about Prince Cedza Dlamini by clicking this link.

Art with a Heart! Charities I care about

I have been workin like feen on my website.  It hasn't been radically updated for over 3 years.  I'm close to having it complete.  Now, people will be able to purchase directly through the website using Pay Pal.  Also, the program I'm using makes it easier to add Meta Tags/Keywords to help my website pop up in more searches.  As intended at The Avant-Garde @ 2434 where I will showcase my art and host fundraising benefits, I am giving 50% of the sale price online to charities as well.  I've started a list of charities for people to select from, or they can select a charity of their choice and supply me with the necessary information.


Here's a few I care about:

World Wildlife Fund
