On January 19th, 2009 Aaron Zukoski set out on a 3,500 mile bike journey from Panama City, Panama to San Francisco, CA to raise awareness and funds for children living in poverty in Central America. The goal is to raise $15,000 for a school construction project in Jalapa, Guatemala. the project will provide a space for the children to receive a much needed education that will open doors for self growth, optimism and opportunity.

The fundraiser event, 7 Travelers, 7 Views: Photos from Around the World is a one day photography exhibit to be held on September 19th, 2009 at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. It will showcase a collection of photographs from around the world from 7 different travelers, each with its own story. All photographs will be available for purchase via silent auction, with proceeds going toward the school construction project that will benefit the children of Jalapa, Guatemala. The event will include a cocktail reception, live musical performances, guest speakers, and a video presentation. This event is 21 and up, open to the public and FREE with a suggested donation at the door. Join us in making this event a huge success!
