My wife is one of 20 Capitol Hill students, professors and doctors who recently traveled to rural Peru on a volunteer healthcare mission. On Thursday, April 2, at 7 p.m. they will hold a photography exhibit and fundraiser from this life-changing experience at the Electric Tea Garden in Capitol Hill. They will serve drinks and discuss how they positively impacted impoverished Peruvian communities.
The faces in these photographs are just indescribable – please show up for a good cause and an amazing exhibit.
Admission is free and all donations and sales from the photography exhibit will go directly toward installing water filters in the same villages where they volunteered. Without access to safe drinking water, there are many health risks and a little goes along way down there.
Thursday, April 2, from 7 to 10 p.m.
“Electric Tea Garden” studio space
1402 E Pike (at 14th Ave.)
Please stop in anytime from 7 to 10 p.m. to see the photographs and spread the word!
Aw, I am very sad to miss this, however I am in Peru right now! Good luck with the exhibition.
