Book stop...Clapham!

Following on from the success of #bookstopbrixton on somerSomerl road , in March we will be opening Book Stop Clapham. This project in conjunction with AV Danzer will see Books available to the community on Notre Dame Estate.
We will also be working with artist @Dreph_ who produced the mural on Pope's Road and the Michelle Obama mural in Brixton.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the project and all the funders via the Go fund me.

Art from watch this space project

We recently visited Lion house in Holborn which is showing the art created by young people from our project in 2013.
Back then we met every Thursday at Notre Dame community centre on the Notre Dame estate and made art from recycled materials.
The pieces on show at Lion House were part of a series we worked on at the end of the project.
Thanks to Gary Pate for organising the show

The Graduation

Congratulations Charity.

On November 2nd 2018 I attended Karatina University in Kagochi, Kenya for the 6th Graduation ceremony in support of Charity Kathure.
This project has supported Charity since 2014 when I met her at Pepo la tumaini in Isiolo. Back then she was mainly doing housework with no chance of attending university due to her financial situation.
I managed to raise enough money to pay her fees and living costs whilst studying and mentored her throughout the course of her studies.
It's amazing to see Charity achieve her dream and go forward in life with a degree in criminology and social sciences under her belt.
Anything is possible in this world with hard work and dedication.
Congratulations to all the students at Karatina university and good luck in the future.
