100% from the sale of signed limited edition prints from Tessa's paintings will go to Dr Maithri Goonetilleke and his medical team in Swaziland who work so unflinchingly hard to save the lives of thousands of HIV/AIDS orphans in that tiny mountain kingdom in Africa. Please help him to help these little ones.
Currently, Dr. Maithri is using contributions from this site to help two grandmothers, Gogo Ndzimandze & Gogo Alvina who, between them, have 26 orphans to feed and nurture.
Dr. Maithri is the co-founder of Possible Dreams International (http://possibledreamsinternational.org) which has been set up to empower communities in areas of deep and immediate need throughout the world. Through the organisation and financing of community based projects and the raising of awareness regarding issues such as endemic disease, poverty and malnutrition Possible Dreams International aims to bring tangible hope into the lives of those for whom the flame of hope seems to flicker on the brink of extinction.

"South African artist Tessa Edwards' paintings have a unique idiosyncratic quality which people cannot help responding to. Amusing, powerful, evocative and joyous, they illustrate the ordinary lives of extraordinary people."
