Volunteer Spotlight
Jordan Aiken & Jimmy Chang
Jordan
Aiken, a senior at University of California Berkeley, contacted us
after her first trip to South Africa, where she led theater projects in
townships near Cape Town. It wasn't long before she had organized a
beadwork sale and built a network of supportive classmates. This
month,
thanks to Jordan's initiative, Art Aids Art was officially added
to Berkeley's
roster of student clubs.
Jimmy Chang, also a
Berkeley student, didn't know Jordan at the time he
offered his
support as an Art Aids Art volunteer. The two began planning
activities shortly after we introduced them, and last month jointly
staffed
Art Aids Art's booth at the Presbyterian Women's Synod.

Alexandria Garcia & Chris Bostwick
Alexandria
Garcia was honored as our 2007 Junior Volunteer of the Year
for her
outstanding support of our community events. A math whiz, Alex
has
been particularly helpful with tending our cash register. We expect to
see her someday in Khayelitsha.
Chris Bostwick, a student at UC
Berkeley, has been a regular volunteer at
Art Aids Art events. Chris
was responsible for initiating the connection
between Art Aids Art and
jericho!, an improv & sketch comedy group at
Berkeley, which
donated proceeds from its entire 2007-2008 season to
support
construction of eKhaya eKasi Center.
They are pictured with their recent children's book donations.
