Ras continues to sell his artwork online at www.theartboyz.com
With his earnings he has decided to become a Landlord, buying 8 small shelters to rent out to poor families. He hopes to earn $240/month from the rentals alltogether, providing him with sustainable income. His ultimate vision is to buy land where he can live and open his own rooftop gallery for tourists on Safari. Ras is currently finishing High School with the support of NANCY & JOHN KRITSER of Amarillo, Texas.

Art Boy Kevin, wants to start a cafe. |
|
|
Kevin is not a painter like the other Art Boyz, he handcrafts bracelets. Yoga of Devotion has put him through Chef Training and he is now ready to open a small cafe where he can also sell his crafts. Containers are inexpensive to buy ($1000), we just need the land to set it up ($50-$100K). We will purchase an extra container for Kevin to live in, behind the cafe.
Kevin is also currently finishing his High School Diploma with the help of supporter CARLA OVANDO of San Francisco, California.

The Mukuru Art Boyz 
From here we will continue to submit the film to other festivals, which will require submission fees from $55-$150 per entry. Currently the Hampton International
Festivals also require expenses related to converting the film into specific formats they need for screening, plus travel expenses. My ultimate goal is to afford travel for the Mukuru Art Boyz to attend a screening. Please donate and help me make this happen!
