Would your school, civic group, or church like to raise money for an MAO project?
If you live within 100-mile radius of Tidewater Virginia, we could help you organize a fundraiser featuring a multimedia presentation of our programs in Kenya and the sale of authentic African fair-trade crafts.

Shop at the Dream Shop at Eastern State Hospital
The Dream Shop is a gift shop at Eastern State Hospital that is staffed and managed by the patients with guidance from Laura Dollieslager. They sell fair trade craft items from Kenya and Guatemala.
