YOU ARE INVITED

RECYCLE GHANA
Holy Family University Gallery
9801 Frankford Ave.
Philadelphia , PA

I will be at the opening on Feb. 22 6-8 p.m. and would enjoy meeting you.

The work in this show was created by children in Ghana who come to Aba House where they learn that there are no limits to creativity. The children make paper from sugarcane leaves and then books, calendars,cards and other products from the paper.
All proceeds from sales are used to pay school related expenses.

We are looking for a bookbinder

Would you like to volunteer to teach our kids how to do coptic binding?
We are looking for a bookbinder to come to Ghana in July or August.
"Our kids" make paper from sugarcane leaves and then blank journals which we sell to raise money for their school expenses.
Stay at our cultural center across the street from the ocean, teach, and have many opportunities to interact with local artists.
If interested please contact me at aba@culturalcollaborative.org
