‘A journey of a thousand miles (less one step)’

‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.’ Confucius

Our earlier post told you about our slow, steady progress with our library efforts. Our challenge is still raising the funds for our first phase, which is to build the foundation of the core buildings. We’ve already told you about the t-shirts and we’ll tell you again but first we want to tell you about our paintings which we are also very excited about!

We’ve uploaded pictures of paintings (unframed, oil canvas) to our webstore that were created for us by an artist indigenous to the Idoma region of Nigeria, called Samuel Onyilo. He’s extremely talented and somewhat of a celebrity in that small country we call Nigeria! You have a unique opportunity to own work by him, commissioned by us specially and help us build a library in Iga!

For the t-shirts, we collaborated with that gifted artist, Angela C Alexander based in Asheville, North Carolina. She generously created the images that we used for the shirts and we were over the moon with the result! For more of Angela’s work be sure and visit her website Angela C Alexander

If you happen to be in Asheville, NC, drop by and see her latest and greatest works on exhibit at the Woolworth Walk Gallery, Downtown Asheville, NC, from December 1-31st. You will not be disappointed!
