KUDU

So my Mom and I are opening and African Art Gallery called KUDU. We are so excited. Since I am an Art History Major, I have always wanted to open a gallery. When my mom got home from a trip to Africa this spring we decided that we would have an African Art Gallery to help the people with Free Trade.
We have all kinds of arts from Africa. We have hand-woven baskets, one of a kind hand-painted ceramics, jewelry, photographs, and original paintings. We are really excited to bring these amazing works of art to Utah and at the same time help African's make a living for their families.

We are also working with  a man named Paul  Verryn. He is a Methodist Minister living in Johannesburg, South Africa. He has over 2,000 people living in his church at any given time. The people are Zimbabwean refugees. He was recently in Salt Lake to meet with the LDS Humanitarian Services to get help and get new ideas about how to help these people. He is truly an amazing person and definitely a man of God. He has a few videos on YouTube so you can see what he is doing. Check out one of them here.
We will be selling bracelets at the gallery to help Paul raise money for his church to help the refugees get on their feet. If these Zimbabweans don't managed to integrate into the South African communities they will be sent home, to Zimbabwe, and death is most likely what awaits them there. If you would like to help, come by and buy a bracelet, they are only $10. Every little bit helps.

We are opening on Tuesday November 16th so come by and see us sometime. 2100 S. 2155 E. Salt Lake City. 801.583.5838.
