Recently I was contacted by a representative for Canadian Feed the Children, a charity that "removes the barriers imposed by poverty, so a child struggling with hunger, illness or isolation can know health, well-being and a childhood without fear." They work in countries around the world including Canada, Bolivia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Haiti, Sierra Leone & Uganda.
They are holding a fundraiser this June at the Bata Shoe Museum (Toronto) and were seeking donations. Of couse I said yes as it seemed like a great fit for WHDesigns. Because the majority of my work is artwork for children, I aim to donate to charities that benefit children, such as my donation to Unicef last fall and now this.
I have decided to paint an illustrated map of sorts, on a 24" x 24" canvas. The map is of our world, which is connected by children & a banner of positive words that (should) relate to any child, living in poverty or priviledge. I have almost completed the painting and look forward to sharing it here and at the fundraiser. So far it is looking great!
The exciting part is that it is going to be in their auction! I hope that it will raise a lot of money for Canadian Feed the Children.
