Up until this point, if you have purchased art from Heart Song Studio all the proceeds have gone to fund various projects in the area of Perm, Russia which lies on the edge of Siberia. We have helped to build rooms, buy winter coats,hats, scarves, mittens and gloves,socks and shoes. We have also sent many blankets for children in orphanages, as well as taken large amounts of hygiene items for those children living on the streets of Perm. We have given large amounts of money to native Russians with whom we have built a relationship, so they can continue to work daily with the children living on the streets, orphanages or who live at home, but in extreme meager conditions. We will continue to work with the people in Russia and will update you on the various projects in which we take part. As of this summer, proceeds from art purchased through Heart Song Studio will begin to support various projects in the Jinja region of Uganda as well as Buvama Island in Uganda which is an island in Lake Victoria. Our first purchase looks to be a new Mac computer as requested by workers who are a part of community development in the area. They will use this computer in one of the small schools of development which is helping bring clean water to the community as well as provide basic health care for pregnant women and newborns.
