Because of your generosity, over $48,000 has been raised for the Africa Vulnerable Children Project through the sale of these beautiful cards. That number has served more than 120,000 meals to the children of Kantolomba. This holiday season we have two new cards and three of the most popular from past seasons. Also available - Cards with Africa scenes and cards for other occasions. You can choose from several giving levels.

Beatrice is a true rustic potter. She forms, glazes, and fires beautiful pottery using only her hands and a fire pit she has dug in her backyard.
