More than 16.5 million children worldwide have been made helpless orphans by HIV/AIDS, and in 2015 and 2016, 120,000 HIV-infected children died. What a tragedy! In the words of Nelson Mandela, "We owe our children - the most vulnerable citizens in any society," and "each of us as citizens, has a role to play in creating a better world for our children."
Leading up to and beyond World AIDS Orphans' Day, we will be hosting a fundraiser gallery, 100% of proceeds to go to charities including Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and the Chi Heng Foundation.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is an international humanitarian medical non-government organization founded in 1971 whose mission is to provide medical assistance to people in places affected by conflicts and disasters. The MSF Access Campaign, in particular, strives to bring life-saving treatments such as HIV-treatment to those who would not otherwise have access to such treatments. Their #2 wish for 2019 (https://msfaccess.org/our-wishlist-2019) is HIV treatment for children.
Founded in 1998, the Chi Heng Foundation (CHF) is the only privately funded non-government organization focusing on helping AIDS-impacted orphans in China. CHF promises a long-term commitment to helping children complete their education and receive comprehensive support.
With artwork from artists ranging from Pablo Picasso to Ai Weiwei (including several one of a kind pieces), we are using art commerce to fight for those in the world who are most in need! Please check out our GALLERY (https://www.artsy.net/world-of-wondermei) and spread the word!
We have also received donations from wonderful artists such as Diamond (@theartistdiamond) and Anita Tiwary (@weavingdreamsanita)! Please reach out to us if you would also like to donate art to support our causes!
