Sisters Project Peru, a new CIO at UVA, is seeking donations for an art auction we are hosting on April 7th at Kardinal Hall. SPP was founded with the mission of providing healthcare access to the community of Huacahuasi, a rural village in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Our goal is to raise funds for a small level 2 clinic in Huacahuasi and work to holistically engage and provide more opportunity for the community.
All proceeds from this event will go towards increasing healthcare access and ultimately building a health clinic. In collaboration with the studio art department, SPP is hoping to receive art donations from studio art majors, generated through their coursework over the first half of the semester. The deadline for donations is April 4th, and students (and faculty!) can drop off their artwork outside of Ruffin 303A (the mail room)! We would greatly appreciate it if you could inform your students about this collaboration, and feel free to set up a time for one of our team members to come explain our mission to your class in more detail! Please email Abby Taylor with any and all questions.
