Canvas painting is recommended for ages 7+ but if your 5+ year old kid thinks he can do it, who are we to argue? Please note that the canvas paint does stain so for this event it is best to wear clothes that can take a bit of paint, even if you don’t do the canvas option. The ceramics paint does not stain but when done next to canvas it’s best to be prepared.

Women's Day Kiva Support - 10.000 loans to women
2019-03-08 | Crafty Pots, 126 Main Street N, Markham, ON, L3P 1Y1, Canada
Friday March 8 is Women’s Day, and I’d like to use that opportunity to tell you about kiva.org.
For Women’s Day, Kiva is aiming to fund 10.000 loans to women. Crafty Pots will lend out all sales on Friday March 8 to Kiva to fund loans for women
https://www.kiva.org/lend/international-womens-day
Kiva is what’s called a micro-lender, making loans available to underserved communities throughout the world. It’s very difficult for poor people to get loans through the normal banks, so Kiva crowdfunds loans which over the years has made it possible for many millions of people to improve their lives, for example to start a small business, get education for their children or in many other ways.
Each participant chips in $25 to the loan, and when the lender repays it you get the money back and can then re-lend it.
I’ve personally been with Kiva since 2007 and in that time have contributed to over 4500 loans. Kiva is real, and they make a difference.
The Crafty Pots lender page is at https://www.kiva.org/lender/craftypots so you can track our progress.
