Kate and Linda have been given the 'go-ahead' by David Gere, AIDS/Art activist, to design, construct and create the 600 baby beaded dolls, each at 7cms tall, for the Child Tower. Design packs have been made and to begin with, five Siyazama craftswomen will be involved, to create the cutest small beaded dolls ever! They are Lobolile Ximba, Sbongile Ximba, Celani Noijeza, Tholiwe Sitole and Beauty Ndlovu. There will be young boys and young girls, and we hope that they will capture the hearts of all who see them!
Once completed the 600 child figures will be layered onto perspex shelves, with 24 child figures on each layer. The tower effect will be created as it will stretch 2 meters high.
Our aim is to get an important, urgent and sincere message across. Pay attention to the ridiculously high numbers of AIDS orphans in our country!
