The event was a huge success and we raised $1700.00 to go towards aiding several sustainable projects in Kenya. The money raised will be used in implementing rain water harvesting systems, feeding programs, medical care, children's education, and women's empowerment programs among others.

Lastly, I want to give a special thank you to Ms. Anna Graizbord for all the time she devoted to promoting and helping organize the event, a large part of its success was due to her. Additionally, I want to thank Mr. Edward Orato as well. He is an incredibly gifted artist and it has been a pleasure promoting his work.

On behalf of the Community Alliance Network, Thank you all!
