Helping others.

American people are incredibly kind. They do help others all the time. I collected many art supplies and toys in my neighborhood and sent it to an orphanages back to my motherland - Belarus. I find so much support here. On the other hand, in Belarus, it is hard to find anyone who is willing for free to deliver this boxes from one city to another one. People in the third world countries just do not understand a principle of charity. They used to have problems, they used to have no help, and they no more want to help others.

I would say even more - if my parents will try to give something to the orphanage in their own town, they will get no thank you. People will look at them as they have too much and trying to show off. It makes me so sad. That's why sometimes I feel that America should help themselves first, before they try to change the rest of the world.

I just competed a new mural - oil painting. It was sold as a commission work at Charity action. I just wanted to share this image with you, because it is a nice reminder about childhood.
