Festival da Batata Doce

Em Aljezur (PORTUGAL) no festival da batata doce, a mais doce que ha no mundo ZionZuri Art & Culture esteve representado pela sista Jahsinta.

Durante o festival fiz uma recolha de material escolar e brinquedos para trazer para as criancas minhas vizinhas de Africa (Tanzania ). Recolhi este cesto cheio no total pesava quase 5 kilos.Tudo chegou bem e as criancas adoraram e esperam por mais.

Houve algum material que as criancas levaram para casa (oferta) e houve outro dificil de dividir que ficou em Zionzuri Art & Culture Village. Assim, sempre que elas nos visitam podem usar e voltar a por no lugar quando terminam a brincadeira…

A todos que fizeram deste plano uma realidade o nosso obrigado do tamanho do mundo…Esperamos que brevemente possamos organizar nova colecta.
Paz Amor e Uniao
Rita Jacinto (Sista Jahsinta)

ZionZuri was displaying in Aljezur (south of Portugal ) during this Sweet Potato Festival in Dcember 2007, where handcrafts from the region is displayed.

Our Little shop invited people to join with small gift to send to the children of Africa/Tanzania. We collected 5 kg of toys, pens, and pencil of many colors. When I got back to Africa i could see the smille in the face of my good litle frieds...Aljezur connected with gezaulole, We all thank you...

Peace love and unity
