Smile Train is an international children’s charity with a sustainable approach to a single, solvable problem: cleft lip and palate.
Millions of children in developing countries with unrepaired clefts live in shame, but more importantly, have difficulty eating, breathing and speaking. Cleft repair surgery is simple, and the transformation is immediate. Our sustainable model provides training and funding to empower local doctors in 85+ developing countries to provide 100%-free cleft repair surgery in their communities.
During his holidays to India with his parents Ameya took photographs and became struck by the number of children his age that have cleft lip and palate and needed surgery and felt a strong desire to help. A chance meeting with Smile Train CEO; Susannah Schaefer at an event that led to Kulharni' second exhibition in as many years which ends today at the Nehru Centre, in London' Mayfair, and to which yours truly has been invited.
The exhibition showed fifty of his favourite Snaps, a lot of which has been sold. In support of his fundraising appeal I'm posting a link to the site and a several images that are available for purchase from Ameya' website.
So if you're reading this post, feeling festive and looking for something different, spend £100.00 and purchase one of his limited edition prints. Keep it soemone safe, watch this space as you'll have an investment in what clearly is a name to look out for and keep tabs on!
All proceeds go to Snile Train.
Merry Christmas!
