Shop local and shop for a cause Thursday and Friday at the 1st annual Tseelana Market.

The Market is benefiting The Wilson Foundation, a local not-for-profit organization providing education and health support for AIDS victims in rural South Africa.

The word “Tseelana” (pronounced “Say-lana”) means “to help each other” in Northern Sotho, the language spoken by the people The Wilson Foundation serves in South Africa.

Participating artists will donate a percentage of each sale back to The Wilson Foundation, and together will raise money for children in South Africa who desperately need help.

Some of the local artists include: painter Brenda Bogart, candles by Eleanor (Ellie) Hamm, jewelry by Beyond Baroque, S King Collection, London Schmid, and much more. There will also be handmade bracelets, wire baskets and other items by South African artisans.

The Tseelana Market is free and open to the public!

Thursday, October 8 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm
