"Quilts for Rafiki Boys" Acrylic on canvas 18 x 24 in

Children at the Rafiki Aids Ministry Orphanage outside of Nairobi, Kenya, receive new quilts designed and sewn by members of the Quilt Ministry of our church, First Community Church. The quilts not only serve to keep the children warm during the cool Kenyan nights, they also brighten the dorm rooms that the children call their home. The painting, taken from one of my wife's photos, shows four boys receiving their new quilts during a June, 2009 visit by FCC members, including my wife, Connie. Barb Davis and Ginny Culver, two of the quiltmakers, were there to distribute the quilts and later see them displayed in the dorm rooms.
