Faces of Indego Africa in NYC!

On Thursday, March 26, 2009, more than 160 Indego Africa supporters turned out for a special photography exhibit, Faces of Indego Africa: An Evening of Art & Social Enterprise at The Soufer Gallery on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.  The collection of photographs – taken by some guy named Ben Stone – captured the inspiring stories of the women and children who benefit from Indego Africa’s innovative approach to defeating poverty through access to export markets and long-term skills training.

Amazingly, Indego Africa raised almost $6,000 for its training programs, even though the suggested donation at the door was only $10!  And just as they did at Indego Africa’s ibirori in December 2008, Indego Africa’s supporters proved themselves hearty philanthropists, braving the rain to enjoy an evening of art, cocktails, networking and social awareness.   The Soufer Gallery provided an amazing backdrop for supporters to take in the faces, images and personalities of those directly impacted by Indego Africa.  Thank you to everyone who made it such an incredibly fun and successful night!  

Below you can find slideshows of the event and the actual photographs on exhibit.  If you are interested in purchasing any prints, please contact me at ben.stone@indegoafrica.org.  Special thank you to Beth Packman for her excellent event photography.  Enjoy!
