On May 17, Art Aid International hosted its second annual wine tasting and art auction fundraiser for Tesfa schools in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Stephanie Timmerman, (featured above with kids in Shiro Meda in February) is a Grand Rapids artist and the founder of Art Aid. She’s been twice to Ethiopia to work with the children in our schools. Her specialty: art lessons in which the children create beautiful paintings, large and small. Some of this art was up for auction in order to keep school programs alive and well. Stephanie has a real talent with the kids, and she’s very devoted to their well-being. Soon, we’ll have a gallery of children’s art up on-line. Watch for it.
