Children at the Margaret Okari Children's Foundation School in Kenya
The Margaret Okari Children's Foundation envisions a Kenya who bestows upon all of its children the opportunity to attain their fullest potential, as they take their place as leaders and contributors to their communities, their country and the greater realm of humankind. We believe that educating our AIDS orphans has the power to shape not only their destinies, but that the collective power of educated individuals can influence the destiny of Africa herself. We currently provide education, medical care and a safe and nurturing home for eighty primary age children. We have committed ourselves to supporting these children through high school or until they have developed a trade through which they can support themselves.

The afternoon will conclude with a reception at Electric Rose Gallery on the plaza, which is donating 20% of proceeds to the Foundation.
“If you have ever heard Alice Walker speak, you will know what I mean when I say that her presence is the very impartation of being “peace” even in the middle of a war zone. Whether that war is metaphoric, personal, or political, the space she holds of how we can continue to choose happiness despite our challenges, is riveting and transformational” says Shiloh McCloud.
Alice Walker, a visionary for our times, continues to share her wisdom and inspire our hearts and minds through a series of conversations happening internationally, and online in her “living book”,www.alicewalkersblog.com. From Mexico to Burma, from Rwanda to Egypt, from Berkeley to Healdsburg, we get to share in her experiences through her teachings on topics all of us can relate to: love/hate, justice/injustice, war/awakening. Through all of her work, central messages emerge that are that ultimately call us to compassionate action.
This event, takes place on the 3rd day of a Visionary Conference called Bountiful which features teachings by Bay Area women visionaries on creativity, transformation and thriving during challenging times.
