Ashraf Raheb hasn't added a story.
Dear friends and supporters,
I’m Ashraf Raheb, a self-taught artist born and based in
Lattakia, Syria. Throughout the last three years I participated in
13 group art exhibitions both in
Syria and London, UK, in addition to
two solo exhibitions in Syria.
I'm still living in Syria and I always seek and aspire to find
inspiration for my work far from war and closer to the human nature,
because war will one day end but we humans will remain.
Syria has been struggling through war for four years. A war
which has had many effects on every aspect of Syrian society. Many
people have had to flee from dangerous zones to safer areas and this
has taken its toll on children’s psychological wellbeing. I have not
left the country like many of our young people have. Because I, like
many people over here, still hold on to the belief in making a
positive change to restore some of the humanity we have lost here over
the past few years.
I have previously organized several free art workshops for children because displaced families have no sources of income and their children are suffering through no fault of their own - they deserve a better life.
Sadly, I had to suspend these workshops due to shortage in my own income. Today, we only aspire to draw a smile again on children's faces by setting up activities here in Lattakia where families from every Syrian city have found refuge because the Syrian coast has been the safest area in the country so far.
This project’s goal is to organise free art workshops for 350 children who had to leave their homes behind due to armed violence erupting nearby. We are lucky to have a team of volunteers who will work hand in hand to bring internally displaced Syrian children much needed happiness. Our art workshops will be a one-day-long activity taking place in a public park in Lattakia. We only need the financial support it takes to provide the tools and materials needed for this cause. We need to provide each child with an art kit (pastel colours, sketch papers, pencils, etc.). Each child will get to keep their art kit as a gift from us to continue bringing them some joy as they continue using their utensils with the skills acquired after the workshop.
Your support will help us immensely! We appreciate every little you can offer today to support the children of Syria!
