India Volunteer is an Amazing Artist

In October and November of 2010 Maggie Nancarrow volunteered with One! in India.  She was an enthusiastic volunteer who endeared herself to the children in India. In recent communication with me she said: "Next time you talk to Kokila, Radha, Malika, Sunil, Ashok....well everyone actually, tell them I say Hi and that I miss them. I still have everyone's goodbye cards and I even have some framed.:-) "  As with most volunteers who work with "our children" in India, Maggie fell in love with the children.

Maggie is an artist. She produces what she calls "Marker Art".
In Maggie's words:


These images are an expression of my travels, my experiences, and the things I see in my imagination. I try to use inexpensive materials. These are all done in main stream permanent marker--Sharpies, Bic, and Pilot Precise pens. I believe that creating great art should not have to be limited to those with lots of money.
For our 10th Anniversary Gala in January of 2011, Maggie

... drew and donated this image to One! International, the organization that I worked with in India. It was auctioned at their fundraiser in January. The original artwork is now held by a generous person who helped support the amazing families and teachers that I worked with in Mumbai.

We approached Maggie again this year for our 11th Anniversary Gala and once again Maggie produced an incredible art work on the theme of the Gala "One! Love"
I was asked again this year to produce a piece for One! International’s January Gala Fundraiser. The original piece will be available for auction and all the proceeds of the piece will go to the organization. I volunteered for One! last year, 2010, in October and November. I’m always glad to support these wonderful people, and most importantly, these beautiful kids. Check out their website to learn more about what they do.

A very lucky Gala attendee has a one-of-a-kind beautiful artwork to remind them that "One! Love" can accomplish miracles.

We are so fortunate to have the continued commitment to One! International of Maggie Nancarrow.
