Arts for Humanity launched

Gallery

MELKHOUTFONTEIN NEWS - The Dreamcatcher Foundation together with the local community launched the Arts for Humanity project on Sunday 4 March.

Art by the children of Melkhoutfontein welcomed the visitors and tourists and is being exhibited in the church.

Over the last year, Dreamcatcher's 'Going Places Kids', have created amazing artwork from the waste removed from the site and their environment under the auspices of their art teacher, Diane Rossouw.

The cornerstone of a monument, a mosaic named 'Rising from the Ashes' and created from waste from this former dumpsite, was laid in the garden.

This is all part of the 'Wasteland - Graced Land' project which has recently been recognized globally as a best practice sustainable model for poverty relief and environmental management projects.
