Inspired by India

Tax deductible
I am an artist working in the UK.  Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Disasters Emergency Committee and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

I donated to the DEC to help India during the pandemic, its been awful to watch what has happened to people in India whilst I was at home in the UK making art and having my Covid Jab!  But..... I wanted to do more, so I am running two art classes online, inspired by India and my connection to India and I invite participants to make a donation in lieu of a class payment.  

Please donate what you can.  

Session 1 - Inspired by India
Friday 2nd July 7.30pm to 9.30pm BST
We will make art work inspired by traditional folk arts of India, whilst making it personal to you.  
Mediums, ink and watercolour.  

Session 2 - Inspired by Family
Friday 16th July 7.30 to 9.30pm BST
 Be inspired by your own family past to create a really personal art work to you inspired by your personal family story. 
Mediums, pen and ink, collage.  

As restrictions slowly ease here in the UK, new variants of coronavirus threaten to overwhelm health systems and cost many lives overseas.
Our Coronavirus Appeal is funding work in eight countries - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, DR Congo, India, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen. This includes six of the world’s most fragile states, the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, and India, which was hit by the worst outbreak of Covid-19 yet seen during the pandemic in April and May 2021. 

Millions of people living in fragile states have little access to medical care or clean water, making them much more vulnerable to new, more contagious variants of coronavirus. 

But in many countries the economic effects of the pandemic could be even more deadly than the virus itself as millions of people are pushed towards famine due to falling incomes and rising food prices. Hunger can be particularly devastating for children, leading to malnutrition which in the worst cases can be fatal. 

We need your help to: 
support fragile health systems with PPE, equipment, and isolation and medical care facilities 
help give vulnerable families the means to protect themselves with water, soap, handwashing stations and information 
ensure that the Covid-19 crisis doesn’t mean people go hungry and children become malnourished. 
The pandemic is driving levels of need not seen in decades. Your donation could help vulnerable communities as they face unprecedented challenges. 

£20 could provide a medical kit to a vulnerable person 
£50 could provide essential hygiene kits to two families  
£100 could provide PPE for 10 frontline health workers 

More information about Disasters Emergency Committee: The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) - which in major crises brings together 14 leading UK aid charities to raise money to help save lives and rebuild shattered communities - is appealing for funds. The DEC Coronavirus Appeal will protect people - often living in refugee camps and war-torn countries - who are extremely vulnerable to coronavirus.
