Fundraising Volunteer (The Afro Sabano Kids Art Fest)

Rural kids are rarely given opportunities to express themselves and be just children who explore, engage in art, painting, play on bouncing castles, dance, sing while they eat and drink and just be themselves away from fetching water, fetching firewood, digging in the gardens or even for moving town to town selling produce on their little heads. A rural child rarely gets time and opportunity to play, have fun, or be spoiled.

So every December, the AfroSabano Kids Art Fest brings 500 rural children together to experience fun, dance, play, games, drink, and food while they paint and draw. After the festival, their paintings are illustrated in a coloring book that is given to the kids to continue painting and coloring at home. The funds usually collected help to make Bamboo painting boards, pay festival staff, buy drinks and eat, Christmas gift, water paint and clay, painting brushes, venue hire, and aprons to protect their clothing while they paint. This will be our second festival. It usually happens in December as our Christmas gift to rural children.
