Helping others.

 I think that American people are incredibly kind in general. They do help other coutries all the time. I have collected many art supplies and toys in my neighborhood and sent it to an orphanages back to my motherland - Belarus. I found so much support here. On the other hand, in Belarus, it is hard to find anyone who is willing to deliver this boxes from one city to the orphanage. People in the third world countries just do not understand a principle of charity. They used to live in a hard reality, they used to have no help, and they no more want to help others.

I would say even more - if my parents will try to give something to the orphanage in their own town, they will get no appreciation. People will look at them as they have too much money and try to show off. It makes me so sad. That's why sometimes I feel that America should help themselves first before they try to change the rest of the world.

I just competed a new mural - oil painting. It was sold as a commission work at the charity action. I just wanted to share this image with you, because it is a nice reminder about the childhood.
