Support Fiona and the Projects she will be working with...

Fiona Richardson a British Community Artists, Workshop Facilitator and Trainer is shortly heading off on an epic 10 month volunteer adventure. With the support of the British Arts Council Fiona will be embarking on a 3 country, 5 project experience where she hopes to learn from the projects as well as share her skills she has gained through her experience as Co-Founder of Paperspace Arts in Nottingham.

First stop will be Bolivia where Fiona will work with our Community Arts Education Project. She will then work with our Deaf school here and the Center for Children with physical Disabilities. Fiona will then head to peru to work with the Arts Haven Project - a drop in center for at risk youth in Cusco. Fiona's final stop will be Brazil and a community arts project in a favela there.

Fiona is a very experienced and talented community artist who will be able to bring much needed ideas and efforts to these children and projects but the communities she will be working with really need resources to be able to run the projects successfully and so we are looking for your support to raise funds for materials for these creative workshops - paints, paper, cloth, glue - its all needed!

If you are able to donate towards this effort any amount small or large will be greatly appreciated and 100% will go directly towards materials for Fiona's workshops with the projects.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support Fiona and the projects in South America.
