Thoughts from Gandhi
One of my favorite quotes and the inspiration behind this trip:
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others" - M. Gandhi.
This is a charcoal sketch I completed in the summer of 2009 for my high school Campus Ministry Office. Photocopies of the original will be sent to contributors who donate over $50.
The Auction
During the week of Saturday, October 2nd through the following Saturday, October 9th, I will hold an informal, online auction of the finished paintings posted on this blog. Paintings #1-5 are all 8x10, painting #6 is a 7x24. All are framed in black paint and finished with a polyurethane cover. Here's how the auction works: If you would like to make a donation, simply comment on the painting(s) that you are interested in buying with your name and amount you would like to donate. Please note that if you place your bid but do not end up as the final bidder, please do not feel obliged to donate that amount. Any amount of donation is appreciated!! The auction will officially end at 9:00 PM (Central Time) on Saturday, October 9th. After this, I will post the winners of the auction. From there, once I receive your donation (please send checks to my address - listed below), I will ship out the paintings to each winner.
If you are not participating in the auction, please feel free to donate online through my Global Volunteers Fundraising Page or writing a check to Global Volunteers and sending it to the address listed below.
