*****************************
The Art of Giving Project
There are more than 4000 children in orphanages in Latvia – not a big number until you consider the fact that the
country’s population is just over 2 million. The actual number of orphans in Latvia might be even bigger, since
no official statistics exist.
Many orphanages are in critical need of repair and improvements.
Violence, corruption, abuse, malnutrition and poverty are leading problems that affect orphans in Latvia. Children
are abandoned by their parents primarily due to poverty and alcoholism. Whatever the reasons for the abandonment, the children pay the price, left in poorly-maintained institutions and written off by society as future alcoholics, thieves, and prostitutes.
The Art of Giving Project seeks to form a relationship between members of the global community and the Latvian
orphanages, raising money which will allow the children to live normal, healthy and happy lives.
This fundraiser will feature arts and crafts produced by the Latvian orphans. The money collected at auction will be used to provide humanitarian aid such as medicine, shoes, school supplies, computers, urgent medical needs, beds, clothes, etc, as well as orphanage
improvement including repairs and renovations to orphanages on an ongoing basis.
The project has received full support and recognition from the former President and the First Lady of the Latvian
Republic. So far we have had two amazing fundraising events. Money raised was sent directly to the children in
Latvia and the children were able to attend a summer camp.
We look forward to having you as part of this benefit.
Thank you,
Anna Litvak, Founder.
