Art that Heals the Heart

As so many of you know, who have followed my work for any length of time, I do Poetry Art in order to have the freedom and platform to do international outreach programs.  For almost two decades, I have had the privilege to be involved with countless relief projects and emergency aid.  Since 1999, my husband Marty and I have done Global Impact, a non-profit organization that we founded to give us the opportunity to do more.  (See Global Impact on my website WWW.Poetryart.net or go to Globalimpactworldrelief.org.)   

On my blog this week, I wanted to highlight a new project that we have begun with our partner in India.  It is a micro-enterprise for ladies to manufacture clothing to sell.  (I used to be a clothing designer in LA, so this is especially exciting to me!)

This new business will provide income for these women, as well as to help bring more support for the children's home that we have been involved with for many years in New Mumbai.  See our blog at:  impacttheglobe.blogspot.com to find out more info and also read about the block making enterprise in Zambia to raise money for the AIDS orphan feeding that we have been sponsoring for a number of years.

Have a great day!
