TBI Group

After 11 wks of work, I completed my first sculpted primative statue. As I was finishing the work, I realized that the 1st anniversary of my friend's motorcycle accident was coming close. After some mind wracking, I decided to create a work as a symbol of the event, and maybe even raise some funds for a group that he speaks highly of in aiding his recovery.
The TBI Angel was born.











The response has been wonderful, and since releasing the sculpture on July 22nd, I have been able to donate close to L$8 000 to the group through TBI Angel sales, other events and private donations that have been made.


In recognition of this, TBI Group has made space displayed a statue at their office, with a lovely plaque for all to enjoy. In addition to this, I was presented tonight with a plaque to display recognizing and thanking me for the donations.


I am deeply touched by the plaque, as validates what I hoped to do; Observe such a horrific event in a proactive way. The man I have known for so many years in many ways has been taken away from me, but through the committment of many individuals and organizations, in real life and SL, he is slowly making his way back. For that I am indebted.
