Volunteering Abroad, Keith
Biele -
Art for AIDS Relief
In 2007, fine artist, Keith
Biele (first artist to paint in the US Pentagon) became EW's
first Artist In Action abroad. While in Zimbabwe he provided skills
building workshops for T&J designs (improving product quality)
and essential art therapy to children at Julia's Home and to over
100 children in three rural areas. In addition to
helping orphaned children and communities to fight AIDS,
Keith took this opportunity to inspire good will and global understanding
in under served youth in the USA. He brought 100 paintings from
children at Ocean City Elementary School in Florida - where 80%
of the students are dealing with poverty - to orphaned children
in Zimbabwe as a symbol of friendship and solidarity. SEE

lift spirits through art and inspire local artists to apply their
talent in new ways, Keith painted the below
