All,
For those who participated in the auctioning off of my art work for charitable purposes, I have donated a small amount of those proceeds to UNICEF's Pakistan Urgent Appeal for Floods in North West Pakistan. The funds raised at the auction were going to be directed to Asia, and I wanted to ensure that my first donation was directed there. There are some charities that I would like the money to go to in Australia as well, but it was important that the first donation went into Asia.
03 August 2010 - UNICEF Australia today launched an urgent appeal to support emergency relief efforts in north-west Pakistan as severe flooding in the region has left more than three million people in need of emergency assistance. www.unicef.com.au
Despite whatever political turmoil a country may be in, their citizens still deserve to remain safe during monsoon season. I may have only donated a little bit of money but every cent counts.
