The idea of cards by Amy sprouted when she was just 4 years old. Amy, our daughter, was learning about Africa at preschool and her teacher asked me, being from Africa, (and the proud Dad), if I would come to her classroom and speak to the children.
The evening before the presentation there were images from various African art books lying on Amy's art table at home. The following morning, Amy was up early and had colored and cut out an image of an elephant mask from the Cameroon. Cards by Amy was born!
Proceeds from the sale of her cards go to various African charities that Amy chooses herself. Amy has helped children and families in Africa with clean water, soccer balls for schools, mosquito nets to prevent malaria, to name a few...
Each card is assembled and signed by Amy, and these blank cards reflect art work she did in preschool, 1st and 2nd grades. By the age of 7 she had already raised over a $1000 for various charities!
Thank you for your support.
