About Me

I live in South Africa. I am basically a housewife. Wonderful darling husband,three lovely children- God certainly has blessed my life.We have four dogs,two cats and a horse.I stumbled onto this school in the township just outside town. The kids are disabled one way or the other, and they make these most amazing little beaded items, from spoons to lizards, keyrings etc. They only have one outlet once a year selling at a local craft market. So being a mom and having some spare time on my hands, I have made a website http://www.2africanart.com and have started selling their goods. (We have agreed to split profits, the headmaster is happy with that.)

My Interests

To purchase these and other items, go to http://www.2africanart.com

I'd like to meet:

People who want to visit Africa and want to make a difference in our world, by buying products from here. My site or others, http://www.2africanart.com.Its for a good cause. We are trying to raise funds for a school of children that are disadvantaged.

Music:

Lots of varied, but very fond of local music, especially Johnny Clegg.

Movies:

At present: Blood Diamonds.

Books:

Anything inspriational and books that I can learn from.
