Denver-based artist, Laurie Maves, produced a series - Poppies for Ethiopia - which she is selling to raise money to travel to Ethiopia with us on the 2008 trip. The following is an excerpt from her website:

The following Poppy Paintings are available for purchase for a minimum donation of $500. All proceeds will benefit the Cunningham Foundation which assists Project Mercy in Yetebon, Ethipoia, by providing breakfast, lunch, education, uniforms and shoes to 1,500 children. Armed with school and art supplies, I will be traveling to Yetebon with the foundation in November 2008 and will be working with the local school children and teachers to help develop arts and creative learning programs.  Paintings are now showing at Strings Restaurant located at 1700 Humbolt Street in Denver www.stringsrestaurant.com.
