Save Lives
You may
have heard about the famines in many parts of the world. Because of El
Nino and wars, it's much worse than anyone predicted. 5000 people are starving
each day. Terrorist activities and wars make our humanitarian aid
and aid more vitally needed than ever. We can save the lives of innocent
people. Time is precious; as artists we can help. We can help others whereever
they are in the world. Any aid to any relief organization you are comfortable
with is the goal: your art can contribute to this project.
We are
working on a wallpaper project: a number of artists are converting artworks
to windows wallpaper and including it for download as CAREWARE
(if
the recipients care, they do something to help the famine in the
world). As artists, we do what comes naturally; we continue to make great
art and we donate a piece for inclusion in the wallpaper packs.
Please
understand that we expect downloaders to send donations or help directly
to the relief organization of their choice.
