Art With Heart online art auction ♡

Art can do many things, it can decorate walls and put smiles on faces and make dull places look bright - and it can also save lives.

A dear friend of mine is a volunteer for an organisation called "I Live Here", an organisation dedicated to improving the lives of fellow human beings in extreme poverty and isolation.
The 'Art with Heart' online auction is one of their innovative projects, which is aimed to raise money for the Malawi Prison Project in Africa. It's also a project that is very near and dear to my friends heart, and I wanted to help out in whatever way I could by writing this little article. It's all the little things that add up to make things like the Art with Heart auction happen.

I am donating some of my artwork to the action, so if you are interested in purchasing something pretty and acquiring that warm fuzzy feeling one gets when helping out a worthy cause, please do pop over to the Art with Heart auction page on ebay from the 29th of september to the 3rd of october to take a peak at some arty goodness and goodies alike. You may be able to snatch up some lovely pieces to pretty your walls with, and contribute to a wonderful cause whilst you're at it.

A little more about the boys in Kachere Juvenille prison: they are crammed into small rooms of up to thirty young men, who are forced to use a single bucket as a bathroom, receive only one scarce meal a day and must sleep on hard concrete floors on their sides in order to fit them all in. Most of the boys are in prison with no charges. No human deserves to live like this, and this is your chance to help.
What will ILH do with the money raised?  All the money will go towards basic things like school supplies and creative modules to improve and aid the lives of boys in africa.

Oh, and p.s: I don't know if any of my lovely followers are fellow lady-lovers like myself, but if you are, I am sure you shall be interested to know that Mia Kirshner, (who plays the role of Jenny Schecter on the L word) is the director of I Live Here, which is kind of exctiting and makes me love her even more for not only being  incredinly adorable and a briallant actress, but also a really awesome and kind-hearted person.

Much love,
Madelynn Holmes
