START is a charity that organizes workshops for refugees, orphans and special needs children across the Middle East and India and is presenting a two-week exclusive art auction for World Refugee Day beginning on June 19.
In partnership with online auction house, Paddle8, this event will raise awareness and funds to support START’s refugee programs in Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, India, Egypt and the UAE through art. START organizes over 55 art workshops for refugees and children, reaching over 1,500 victims every week. The workshops provide these people with a safe and secure environment to learn, interact with their peers, develop skills and express creativity.
