It was awesome. Both Birchelle and Kevin were very upbeat and kind and offered so much encouragement to me and also his friend in Kenya. I do my art to keep me going and this is very special as I painted Birchelle her parrot in more contemporary style (which I enjoyed) and also in the conversation I offered my Koala which I hope to help children in need for food in Kenya! No child should go hungry, and I'm hoping this will add some joy to someone who wants the story of the Koala( which was meant for another project that didn't get off the ground to help Koala's that suffered so much from the forest fires in Australia. I guess it was meant now to help children get fed in Kenya! It's a special story about hope and meaning to be kind and help each other going forward to better the circumstances of those who cannot help themselves. It warms my heart that it now has a purpose! Thank you so much for the opportunity to use my art for good. It is my pleasure and honor to know both of you. Keep up the good work. Blessings and looking forward to working with you. Kathy
