The night of Drawn to Develop 2009!!!

D2D 2 happened a few nights ago and what an amazing night it was! I'm so happy to have been a part of such a great event for such a great cause..Street Kids International.

Here is my contribution to this years group show..

..inspired by this drawing by 18 year old Ranjan Kumar who lives in Patna, India..

Ranjan's Story:

"I live in the NGO called BALSAKA. I study in 7th Standard. Now I am learning about tailoring and I work as a volunteer for the ‘Childline’ – a help line for kids who are in some kind of trouble or have problems and no one to talk to.

I want to start a tailoring business for my family and for my future. I will do a tailoring business so that I don’t have to be dependent on others and my life will be better. I have too many problems. I have to face my poverty and my lack of family situation. I have no knowledge about my business yet but now I will start to learn. I got to learn many things so that now I can start a business well. I have an idea about my business start up costs and operating costs. I will also help others with the information and by being a good example of a good business man and a good person."
