no name - My wonderful friend fell in love with Africa when he went on a 2 week safari. As a thank you to him for all he has done for me I made this quilt from hand silk screened panels made by women from Africa who live in shelters. These panels are sold to support these women in their struggle to survive. I purchased them from a beautiful woman who runs Maendeleo Imports. She sells these and other items and returns all the profit to the shelter. In order to survive herself she has her own African fabrics for sale.
