In our travels to Guinea, West Africa we have seen first hand how difficult it is to survive in a Third World country. 6 months of rain = plenty mosquitoes = much malaria. No work = no pay = no medicine. It's a unfortunate cycle in which we have lost several friends and teachers already. Thus, we are inspired to assist these artists and compadres who are a big part of our lives, and have so generously share their gifts with us to help us evolve as professional artists.

Monetary Donations are always welcome and well spent - contact us for details!

Each year we collect donated items for our trip from the Africa Supply List below.
You are welcome to bring donated supply items to us at any of our upcoming classes, workshops and
performances. Please check our schedule for events details. Other arrangments can also be made,
please call 877 . 904 . 2362 or email rootsheartpulse@ureach.com
