Peggy has donated 4 beautiful oil paintings to be raffled off. Amazing opportunity to own an original painting for $10.00 or less. Check out the Artwork Gallery page. You can pay directly through PayPal. The photos can’t even do them justice . They look “alive” when you see them in person. If I had to describe them in one word it would be STUNNING! But you will have to act fast. Draw dates are July 15th & Aug 7th. Limited amount of tickets being sold.

As they say in the local dialect, Nyanja… Thank You- Zikomo Tracy!
We will be traveling to Zambia from various locations in Canada- Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto. Landing in Lusaka, we’ll then travel on to Katete, located about 40km NE of the capital.
Zambia shares boundaries with eight countries: Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Angloa, Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania.
Habitat first opened it’s doors in Zambia in 1984, and since then has build more than 1,700 houses in the country.
Katie was recently interviewed by the Yellowknifer (Yellowknife, NWT main newspaper) to talk about the Sisterhood of the Traveling Hammers and the sister’s upcoming Habitat for Humanity volunteer adventure in Zambia. As you can imagine, there are tons of stories to cover in Yellowknife so this is a huge honor (ok….slight sarcasm there ;-). But, in all seriousness, congrats to Katie!!
You can contribute to Katie’s fund raising efforts by visiting her donation page on her personal Habitat for Humanity web page https://www.habitat.org/cd/gv/participant/participant.aspx?pid=93317263
