VAYA to Support VietACT's: ART SUPPLIES DRIVE!!!

ART SUPPLIES DRIVE!!!

Hello VAYA Members, Supporters, and Friends,

The VietACT Art Supplies Drive is in full swing!
We're collecting donations of items for the survivors so that they can have materials for the Art class I'll be teaching. (see previous blog for details). Last day to donate is Sun 8/23, the day before my departure to Taiwan. Come to ANY VAYA meeting in the next 3 weeks to drop off your donations. Monetary donations are welcome too! Please visit http://www.vayasd.org/calendar/ for info on meeting dates, times, locations. If you can't swing by one of these, please contact me directly at calixvubui@gmail.com or (858) 736-4773 to make a personal arrangement. We sincerely thank you for your support of VietACT's work to stop human trafficking! We couldn't do all that we do without you. A wish list is included below for your convenience. Warmly, Calix :)
