Hello everyone. Are you looking for a one of a kind, fantastic piece of art for a holiday gift? Or are you the type that loves to just help out for important causes?
Well there is an amazing auction going on that was started by the fantastic Jessica Sporn - to help raise awareness about female genital mutilation and to help bring an end to this ceremony imposed on young girls.
All proceeds from this auction will be donated to http://www.pastoralist-child-foundation.org/, an organization devoted to educating and empowering girls with vital information needed to resist FGM and forced early marriages, and to adopt safe and peaceful Alternative Rites of Passage to womanhood.
There are currently 47 pieces in this auction including books, clothing, jewelry, and amazing pieces of art by some very very talented artists including Jessica Sporn, Jodi Ohl, Ronda Palazzari, Kirsten Reed, Judy Shea, Dina Wakely, France Papillon, Pam Carriker, Jill Meyer, Mary Beth Shaw - and many many more!!
Although I was asked to participate in this auction, I was not able to. But I will next time. I hope you can stop by, check out the items in the auction - maybe place a bid!!
Or two!!
If you cannot bid, please share this blog post or the auction site and spread the word. The auction runs from today through December 12th!
Until next time!
Hugs from Brasil -
