food water shelter art

A couple of weeks ago, food water shelter held a sale of donated art works at the Sydney College of the Arts Gallery in Rozelle in efforts to raise funds to build Kesho Leo Children's Village in Tanzania, East Africa.

The vibe at the exhibition was fantastic - the sun was shining, we were surrounded by beautiful contemporary artworks in a beautiful setting, and in the background we could hear the soft sounds of an african beat - a Sunday afternoon that could not have been better spent! The idea is inspiring.

Congratulations on a successful weekend, fws! bricks + cartwheels salutes you!

BLISS N ESO “Bullet and a Target” featuring the connections zulu choir.

In July 2007 Aussie Hip Hop group Bliss N Eso travelled to the most dire regions of South Africa with the Oaktree Foundation and MTV to shoot a documentary on Extreme Poverty.
The boys teamed up with the Connections Zulu Choir, a 21 piece Zulu choir from the Valley of a Thousand Hills in South Africa and recorded the track as well as the video.

bricks + cartwheels were blown away when we heard it. Pretty inspiring stuff!!
