Art For Syria
In February, I will be launching an art campaign to raise funds for the refugees of the Syrian Genocide. The UN has declared over 5,000 Syrian Refugees in Lebanon alone and an estimated total of 17,000 refugees crossing the border of Syria to escape the violence, most of these numbers being women and children.
I have been a supporter of many causes, from the earthquake in Japan to Haiti, to feeding the homeless right here in Orange County. My decisions for fundraising are deep rooted in the belief that we are all human and need the bare necessities to survive. Now, my home country, the place where my family lives is facing genocide. Too many people I personally know have been affected by the tragedy and the least I can do as an artist is to use my abilities to provide food and shelter where it is lacking.
The money raised from my fundraising efforts will go directly to the UNITED NATIONS CENTRAL EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND
All proceeds from the sales in the month of February will go directly to humanitarian aid in Syria. Please email [email protected] to make a purchase.
