Ebay Auction October 1, 2008
Portrait of Sudanese Girl
100% of all Proceeds to benefit UNHCR for People of Darfur
PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD
Last year I painted a portrait of a little Sudanese girl standing in one of the "feeding centers" in Darfur for the United Nations UNHCR branch. Unfortunately the auction did not take place and I was urged to put the painting up for auction through Ebay / Mission Fish.
Since Ebay is mostly for bargain hunters, my biggest fear has been that not enough funds will be raised to make a difference. After almost a year of making contacts and major campaigning, newspaper coverage, etc. the painting is heading for auction.
I am asking my fellow artist friends to please join in the effort to further help me spread the word.
All you have to do is insert a pre-made widget or the image of this painting with a link to
http://www.EnzieShahmiri.com on your social networking site to raise awareness that this auction will be taking place. Please visit the site to learn more.
I want to show that we as individuals have enough power to move mountains, as long as we stay committed enough and join forces with each other.
I hope you will choose to make a difference in the life of those less fortunate as us.
THANK YOU!
