Why hello there

I have been one of the very lucky 40 people who have been chosen from Chichester High School for Girls in West Sussex to take part in an expidition organised by World Challenge to Sri Lanka for three weeks in the summer of 2008.

Sri Lanka is an island off the southern tip of India. It is a country with a huge variety of landscapes ranging from flat coastal areas of idyllic beaches to hilly areas in the centre of the island. Our project will be based in the south of the country along the coastal region between Galle and Tangalla.

During our time there we will be helping out in local schools teaching English, decorating classrooms and building playgrounds. It's not a holiday!

Trouble is i need to raise around £2395! And that's without any general spending money!

This is why i need as much help from fellow DA artists as possible.
The aim of this account is basically to sell prints an i am relying on all you do-gooders out there to help me out.
There are several ways you can help with this:

* (most important way) Buy a print! to help me to raise money for the trip

* Donate a print

* Advertise the account in your journal by putting a link to it! (you can just copy this if you want)



If you want to donate an artwork to be sold through the account, just contact ~Project-Sri-Lanka and send a copy of the deviation to me via email (sophiecharwells@btinternet.com) (and PLEASE make sure that the resolution is high enough to be used). Take it down as a print on your account also. You will be FULLY credited and there will be a link to your orginal submission.

If anyone can spare anything i would be enternally grateful to you and so would the people of Sri Lanka!
