PLEASE READ BELOW .

@beyond_suncare just phenomenal! I am really inspired by their work and hope for everyone to see what they are doing MAKING iTHE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH ALBINISM SO MUCH BETTER
.
.
They help and have helped thousands of people in Africa with albinism
..
.
THE ENEMY IS THE SUN
..

.
SKIN CANCER ENDS THE LIFE OF 9 out of 10 PEOPLE WITH ALBINISM
.
.
this is the reality and it’s hurrendous
.
.

THE FACTS OF ALBINISM
.
250 murders in 29 countries
.
Precancerous lesions present in 100% of people 25 yes and younger
.
Life expectancy less than 30 yrs
.

.’
Discrimination for their appearance and persecuted by the influence of superstitions
.
.
No access to education on prevention
..
.
.
BUT WE CAN PREVENT THIS !!!

.SO THANK GOODNESS FOR @beyond_suncare
.
They began working in TANZANIA AND MALAWI BUT ARE NO WORKING IN RWANDA DRC CONGO UGANDA and BEYOND
.
.
Now they are MAKING SPECIAL SUNSCREEN 🙏🙏
.
.
Their formula combines high efficacy and safety. Designed to be manufactured locally in simple installations where people with albinism are hired
.
.
They have created a BEYOND PROTECTION PACKAGE … a skin protection program that’s easily replicable model in African communities.
.
These guys work HARD TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH ALBINISM
.

.’.

EDUCATION AND AWARENESS .. about sun protection to all of the community
.
THE distribution services for their cream, education and awareness go to the most remote places in co ordination with local hospitals schools dispensaries .
.
.
Their model was DECLARED BEST PRACTICE BY UNITED NATIONS
.
.
PLEASE SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING ITS AWESOME AND THE PROBLEM IS HUGE
.
.
This issue is close to my heart … my son has ongoing skin issues from birth… which have been debilitating.
.
.
THANKYOU @beyond_suncare
.
.
I hope to come visit you next year and see the projects🙏🙏

When I was in Siwa oasis in Egypt there was a store of local handicrafts owned by MR Senoussi featuring local Siwan pottery embroidery and jewellery .. amazing and I was in heaven hence bringing back a few treasures including this Bedouin doll handmade … with Siwan Bedouin designs

FELLOW NORTHERN RIVERS ARTISTS ❤️
.
.
I’m thinking of you and the collective losses across the arts in our beautiful region of the northern rivers
Of NSW
. .
There are so many artists that live and work in the region and this CATASTROPHIC FLOOD EVENT has been SO VERY devastating with the sector suffering untold losses , with studio equipment , artwork in ruins and artist’s livelihoods in complete free fall. Huge impacts in every direction here.
.
So I am donating the proceeds of this painting to @artsnr to their FLOOD RECOVERY CAMPAIGN
.
.Artists unite ! We love you and we need you !!
.
.
We know how tough it is already and with this it’s just overwhelming.. let’s help get artists back on track ❤️

THE DEVASTATION
.
.
these images are from Lismore a city just half an hour from me in the Northern rivers region .. the most stunning region of NSW ... from incredible coast to beautiful countryside.
.
. The floods here have been beyond devastating.. scenes so hard to comprehend
.SIMPLY CATASTROPHIC
.

.
So many lives impacted and so much devastation .. so many towns all over the region from tweed down to Evan head .
.
.
I saw the devastation in Lismore yesterday ....so many people just left with the nothing at all.
.
THE WATER WAS UP TO THE ROOF .. I mean can you comprehend this ??
.
.
It’s just surreal ....
.
.

the community has been amazing and continues to be with lots of volunteers.
any help at all is greatly appreciated .. either on the ground or with GUMBOOTS SOCKS towels daily essentials like sanitary toothbrush toothpaste towels baby needs .. anything at all .. the recovery will be on going
..
There is a evacuation centre @southerncrossuni LISMORE for clothes food essentials showers ... you can also collect items for anyone you know in need here.
