"I CHOOSE LIFE" is a Sip & Paint fundraiser event for The Big Issue magazine, that is published by Mikateko Media.
The much-needed funds raised will go toward its publishing and printing costs, which is escalating year-on-year. Without the magazine, the Vendor, who is predominantly the main breadwinner in over 100 impoverished households in local Cape Town, will not have a magazine to sell and recoup 50% of the cover price, and is mostly their only source of income. The Vendor buys the magazine from The Big Issue, and sells it for double the cover price, making it a hands-up initiative, and not a hand-out to them. They adopt entrepreneurship - it their own business which supports their livelihood.
The concept of "I CHOOSE LIFE" is about painting a picture that depicts life. We aim to paint to rejuvenate, unearth your creativity, and be a blessing to others!
Art Teacher: ALAN NEL, former art teacher at Westerford and Paarl Art Centre will lead the art session.
A snack will be provided, something savoury and sweet, together with a coffee/tea station and something stronger dependent on preference.
