COLOURFUL CAUSE
hen Arsh Pal was gifted a paint set for his eighth birthday, he created works of art for family and friends. Then Arsh decided to. Setting a goal to raise $1000 for St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Arsh exceeded his target in one year. In the four years since he started, Arsh has raised more than $15,000 and donated to at least five different charities. His mum Divya who also paints, works in a nursing home as an occupational therapist, and her son spends his free time teaching the residents there how to paint. ‘It just makes me smile, and the other people happy,’ Arsh said.
