TEMWA ART FOR AFRICA AUCTION 12TH MAY 2012
May 2, 2012We love May, mainly because this is the month that Temwa hold their amazing Art for Africa auction.
It has grown year on year and continues to raise much needed funds for sustainable community development in the African Republic of Malawi.
You don’t have to collect art or even be a fan of it as the evening provides so much more, it really is a very entertaining evening.
So if you’ve not been before then why not just give it a go, and for those of you that have well you’ll know what a good night it is already so we’ll see you there!

TEMWA – Art For Africa 06/05/11
May 11, 2011A massive well done to Jo and Team Temwa for putting on another amazing evening on Friday.
Not only was it a great night of live painting, hilarious auctioneering and jaw dropping beat boxing but it raised £9,000 for Temwa, which, Jo tells us will run a sustainable agriculture project in Malawi for 6 months reaching 1700 households. Amazing.
Here are a few (bad quality) photos and video from from the night.
Congrats to all involved.
Beat box videos to follow.
Congratulations to Felix ‘FLX ONE’ – Mission Completed
February 28, 2011Massive congratulations to Felix who, this weekend completed a 24 hour Draw-a-thon at Bristol’s King of Paint, for the amazing charity Temwa.
Bristol artists have been integral to Temwa’s fundraising programme since the charity started; and during that time Felix has donated a number of pieces which have been sold at their hugely successful art auctions. But it’s not ending there with Felix, having been invited to travel with Temwa to Usisya, Malawi, there was no hesitation. He will be working with school children and local artists on a community mural project which will be unveiled at a community day.
These community days are of extreme importance and are one of the most effective ways of communicating the importance of health education in a area where 14% of the population is HIV positive and 11% of children die before reaching the age of five.
The funding raised through this weekends 24 hour draw-a-thon will go towards funding this very important project, so whilst the event may well be over there is still time to donate much needed cash.
Please join with us and support Felix and this very worthwhile cause. You can find out more and donate at www.justgiving.com/felix-braun. Lets hit the £2,000 target.
Temwa is an organisation that raises funds to implement community-based projects in Malawi, southern Africa. Temwa is based in an area called Usisya, on the north shore of Lake Malawi. This remote area has no electricity, no running water and is severely affected by the AIDS epidemic. Due to poor road and infrastructure, public services and other relief efforts are very limited. Overseen by a project Manager in Malawi, Temwa runs a series of programmes that are aimed at proving sustainable, community-driven development in four key areas: Health education, Skills development, Agriculture and irrigation and Schools support. In the future Temwa plans to establish similar schemes in other parts of Malawi.
Temwa – Art For Africa – 21/05/10
May 18, 2010We would just like to say a massive WELL DONE to the Temwa crew for a brilliant and successful night, that saw over £9,000 raised for very worth while projects in Malawi. Amazing.
************************
The temwa art auction is not only a fund-raising event for a great and genuine cause but it’s also a really good night out aswell. A great atmosphere and music from Monster Piece DJ’s, The disco Two and Bristol hip-hop afficionado Sir Beans. Also for the first time there will be live painting by Mr Jago and Will Barras, always good to see these two masters throwing up a piece. All this and a chance to grab an original piece of art whilst doing your bit to benefit some really worth while projects in Malawi.
