Annie Ruth, Cincinnati-based, world renowned artist,
travels to Kenya again to share the ministry of art.
“During my time in Kenya, I have a few goals to meet”,
Ruth writes, “Orphanage & school visits to youth in
Kenya; Completing artistic projects that connect faith
and creativity; Leaving art supplies and curriculum to
enhance the learning environment.”
Partnering with Helping Hands for the Nation, Inc. to
bring art to thousands of children in Kenya, Annie Ruth
will also be training teachers, sharing her empowering
story of learning to love herself and facilitating round
table discussions and presentations with teen girls and
women. She leaves for Kenya on January 15, 2014 and
returns to the U.S. on February 5, 2014.
Because the children in Kenya do not have any art
supplies, Annie Ruth will be taking all the supplies for
the art projects with her. With the help of donations, she
hopes to stock Kenyan orphanages and school closets
with art supplies that will be used after she completes her
travels to Kenya again to share the ministry of art.
