Heartful Giving: Preserving Folk Art

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - June 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Heartful Giving is Raising Funds to Preserve Folk Art

The Heartful Giving Project recently launched their crowdfunding campaign on www.crowdismo.com in order to raise funds and awareness about international folk art. Their campaign runs until August 1st and you can donate by visiting www.crowdismo.com. Be apart of the start of something BIG!

The Heartful Giving Project preserves international folk art by building a Community Arts Center where local artisans can practice and teach their skills. Our first project takes place in Sua, Ecuador where a group of artisans formed the association “Manglares de Sua.”

Their current structure is in dire need of repair! Project director Julia Chiriboga wishes to help this group fulfill their dream of building a functioning art center where they can practice, teach and sell their traditional handicrafts. The skills that these artisans wish to pass along are unique to the Ecuadorian coast and the Afro-Ecudorian culture.
