The auction, which is still being put together is entirely for the benefit of the orphanage.
100% of the PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THE ORPHANAGE. CHECKS / CHARGES WILL BE MADE DIRECTLY TO THE CHARITY.

- “Refugee Kid” by C215, (based on a Salgado photo) spray and acrylic on solid wood, 31cm by 11cm.

Beejoir "Oil Can Special, Double Can Edition" - this is not the exact image, the actual image will be coming shortly.
According to Rae, Brooklynite has an indirect link to the orphanage because very good friends of theirs were in the process of adopting two children when the earthquake hit.
The story has been covered on CNN and in the Daily News.
