Tucked away in one of the hundreds of containers on board the MSC Eleni currently on the way to Felixstowe are 4 crates containing sculptures made at Silveira House (www.silveira.co.zw) in Zimbabwe.  2 crates are destined for Crawley and Horsham URC and the two other crates are heading for Walton on Thames and one contains something rather special - a large stunning sculpture commissioned by a local community body which will hopefully give the artists publicity.    The other crate contains some orders from URC members all over the country.  The crates contain crafts made at Silveira House, uniquely designed baskets, handmade batiks, necklaces made from malachite stone and much more.  The proceeds from the sale of these pieces will support the artists and their families (almost 200 people) for most of the next year.
