<p>Cofounder and Co president of group called Art for a Heart that hand makes different fashion elements and sells them to raise money for the International Children’s Heart foundation. This started in the middle of the 2008 year, and we have already raised enough money for a heart surgery for one child, named Ruben. Ruben, who lives in Nicaragua, was sucessfully saved and is now recuperating. The cost of the surgery was $1,500. We often put together events to raise awareness of Congenital Heart Defects. The founder of the ICHF flew in from Tennessee to meet us and thank us for our efforts. We are featured on their website at [babyheart.org</a> - International Children’s Heart Foundation - Where Hope Comes To Life - Home](<a href=“http://www.babyheart.org%5Dbabyheart.org”>http://www.babyheart.org) .</p>
