A Piece of Wall - The Story and Street Art of East Timor

I am very proud and excited to be sponsoring Chris Parkinson's Exhibit at the 2010 Art San Diego Fair.
 

Check out Chris's book and photo expose of East Timor here: http://peaceofwall.blogspot.com/  

My sister Ann is the CEO of the fair and a huge supporter of my friends at Arte Moris in Dili East Timor.   www.artsandiego-fair.com/ 
Together with a growing group of others our goal is to raise awareness and corporate sponsorship for a larger Arte Moris presence at the 2011 Art San Diego Fair.  

I am also very happy to announce that Arte Moris has just received an endorsement letter from Dr. Jose Ramos-Horta 1996 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and President of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, fully supporting and endorsing Arte Moris's 2011 participation in the Art San Diego Fair!


I encourage you to check out and learn a bit more about Arte Moris. It's hard not to see and get excited about what this group is doing for the youth in E. Timor. Simply amazing work!!

Yacht Aid Global...."Just Do It!"

Thank you Yong Tze Yee, Manager of Eatons Book and School Supply Store in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.

Your very kind and generous donation of: 100 educational laminated wall charts and about 100 hardback educational books for young children will go a long way in the remote fishing village schools of Indonesia.

By simply going into the School Supply store here in Borneo and requesting an impromptu meeting with the store manager we where able to get these supplies on board and bound for Remote Islands in Raja Ampat Indonesia. After a few minutes of sharing the YAG mission and the purpose for the books and materials, the manager was more than happy to clear out some of his back room stock.

Be Proactive! Just Do It! YAG! Yacht Aid Global http://www.yachtaidglobal.org/ Drop me an email at tforderer@msn.com and I would be happy to share with you how easy it is to get involved.

After our trip through Raja Ampat, Irian Jaya - West Papua this year I hope to supply YAG and the folks at Indonesian Yacht Services with some reliable contacts for boats going that way in the future to get involved.
