Running for Medika Mamba

We are SO excited about the Medika Mamba program in Haiti and as we spread the word about Artists For Hope and complete our new website, we hope to attract the attention of some wonderful new Artists with big hearts that want to help the children at the Rescue Center.

We decided to use the rest of the money we had donated so far to support a wonderful woman, Tara Livesay, in her running adventure to help the Medika Mamba program. They have a matching grant going and when they meet their goal, it will help SO many children in Haiti. We figured it's always good to double the money for the kids, and it all goes back to helping the kids at RHFH. Yay! You can read about Tara's marathon here.

I want to thank Troy Livesay (Tara's husband) for the use of his amazing pictures from a recent trip to the Rescue Center. He is an incredible photographer and a missionary in Haiti and he really captured some amazing moments with the children. Here are just a few...

*This is sweet little Deny, who was in the first portrait that Alexis did for Artists For Hope. I still melt every time I see his smile. :)

Thanks for continuing to spread the word.
I have some new things for sale that will be posted soon!

Medika Mamba

This is an amazing new nutrition program that they are starting in Haiti and are hoping to provide for many children at the Rescue Center. Medika Mamba mean "peanut butter medicine" in Creole and it is an energy dense Peanut Butter that is fortified with protein and nutritional supplements. They were able to try Medika Mamba with ten children at the Rescue Center and they saw a dramatic difference in the health and weight of the children.

The purchases you make through Artists For Hope will help to provide food for hungry children that desperately need it. It will help to purchase nutritious food like Medika Mamba. Please spread the word to Artists, friends and family that you know about Artists For Hope. We are hoping to start adding new Artists as we finish our website, and the only way is to make people aware of what we are trying to do. Encourage the people you know to check out the site when they are looking for gifts and artwork so we can start to really make a difference in the lives of the children in Haiti.

Busy Busy

We're busy working on brochures, information, and our Non-profit status so we can start selling from our ebay store. I feel like it's been too quiet on the blog, but wanted to let everyone know that we're still here and we are currently taking donations from artists so we can help the children in Haiti.

The beautiful portrait of Deny was donated to a benefit that supported the Rescue Center. I know the person who won this drawing in the auction now has an amazing piece of art and a great reminder of the kids we are trying to help.
