<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: NL;">Hello everyone! Thank</span> you for taking <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">the time to visit the justgiving page of&nbsp;one of the AWF's&nbsp;newest projects:&nbsp; the HeART Foundation. </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Our objective is to create cultural centres, HeART centres,&nbsp;in deprived communities. We would like education and cultural&nbsp;understanding&nbsp;to meet through the medium of art.&nbsp;Our aim is&nbsp;to bring the&nbsp;children and the community together and inspire them to dream.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: NL;">&nbsp;These cultural centres</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">&nbsp;will have&nbsp;different spaces that each will provide a different type of education. We&rsquo;ll teach the children everything about dance, theatre, arts and crafts, music, culture, photography and filmmaking. We would also like to pay attention to the women in these communities; therefore we will create&nbsp;an area&nbsp;especially for&nbsp;them. We would like to point out that this is a process of cultural exchange. Our aim is to get the children and the community to teach us everything about their own culture as well. </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"></span><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The first HeART Centre <strong>will</strong> open July 2012 in Sierra Leone. We would love for you to help make this happen by donating and help spreading the word. For us any donation counts!</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The HeART Foundation,</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333;"><em><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Inspiring dreams</span></span></span></em></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">For more information about the project and the team, visit our website: </span></span></span><span style="color: #800080; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><a href="http://awf-voluteeringabroad.com/heart.html">http://awf-voluteeringabroad.com/heart.html</a> </span></span></span></span></p>
