Ethiopian Orphan Relief, Inc.
Fundraising: Art for Ethiopia 2008, Denver, CO
On Saturday, November 8, 2008, Ethiopian Orphan Relief, Inc. will host its first annual Art for Ethiopia Event--an art show and sale--in Denver. The 2008 Event will benefit the construction of a facility in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to care for orphaned teenaged girls through a partnership with Children's Heaven.
Children's Heaven is a non-profit organization committed to serving teenaged girls who have been orphaned due to HIV/AIDS, and to help meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of these vulnerable children.
Children's Heaven believes it is necessary to create an environment of hope and respect for teenaged girls, where they can have the opportunity to achieve their full potential and provide practical tools for positive change in their lives. Orphaned teenaged girls are perhaps the most vulnerable segment of Ethiopian society, because they are at a higher risk of sexual assault or rape, and they are most susceptible to HIV/AIDS.
If raised in an environment that will help them develop a positive self-esteem, achieve the means to financial independence and educate them in HIV prevention, these girls can have an enormous postive effect in Ethiopia. The primary goal of this program is to prevent HIV/AIDS transmission among vulnerable teenage girls by empowering them to rise above their current situation.
The Show will be at the Flash Gallery at 445 South Saulsbury St., Lakewood, CO, in the Belmar Shopping Center, from 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Artists from all over Colorado will be displaying their work for sale, and Ethiopia-specific works will be auctioned off in a silent auction format throughout the night.
