5th year in a row collaborating with Ajudaris

For the past 5 years, I've been collaborating with Ajudaris - Associação de Solidariedade Social, an association dedicated to fighting hunger, poverty, and social exclusion in Portuguese schools.

One of their most successful fundraising initiatives is the creation of illustrated books where illustrators from around the world accompany the texts created by children and adolescents with their art.

Students write stories about peace, love, and caring for the environment with a positive and hopeful spirit.

Some are tales about cooks who save polluted rivers with magic potions. Others are stories about how they welcomed Ukrainian refugee children fleeing the war into their schools.

And this year, we're collaborating again with a new illustration. I'll be sharing it with you soon!
