Marces Botes is a self-taught artist and her speciality is sketching both animals and people with graphite pencils. She has agreed to give us 25% of the earnings from each sketch she makes. To make the deal even sweeter she has agreed to give all Vet Books for Africa sponsors discount prices until the first of May. You can support us even more by getting your own sketch made. Please find attached pictures of some of the sketches Marces Botha has made over the years.

They plan to support about 1500 learners in total. The team wants to give each learner in the respective schools a packet full of the necessary stationery. Each stationery pack will contain the following items: 1 exercise book, six blue pens, four pencils, one eraser, one pencil sharpener and one ruler. The whole idea of the Stat Pack drive is to give people of the general public the opportunity to contribute to our mission by sponsoring one or more stationery packs at R60. When a pack is sponsored, a message can be attached and will travel with them through Africa and put a smile on a child's face. Your donation will significantly improve a child's educational experience by providing themwith the school necessities. v
