Campaign Story
A year and a half ago, I came across a lovely young Iranian boy from an artistic and cultured family. A 19-years-old talented enthusiasm artist with great expectations and beautiful dreams. His polite generous demeanour, as well as his intelligence and ambitiousness soon captured my heart and his dreams became mine too. A close relationship built between us which grew deeper and deeper each day and it was then that he started sharing his problems and sufferings with me too ! Finishing an Art and design high school in one of the small cities close to the capital and with all his talent and enthusiasm in graphic design and film making, he has started working in this field very early, since he was 15 and with his good ability in communicating in English, despite the poor internet services in Iran and all the problems associated with it, he has managed to build a circle of good friends all around the world and has approached some of the known artists in his field in Iran or abroad. But life situations has not been on his side. I soon found out about all the financial matters his family have been through during the past 7-8 years and how it has affected his life ! He had to quit studying right after finishing high school cause he cannot pay toward its costs. It's a long story which I'm not going to bother you by re-telling it, though these days it has unfortunately become a typical story of many educated and cultured families in Iran. In the last months, I was bitterly observing how his hopes to achieve his goals and dreams are vanishing in this everyday struggling with family financial crisis as well as all the social barriers and challenges of working as an artist in Iran. He loves to study, he has bunch of creative ideas in mind which are waiting to be followed, but now his life, at this young age, has reduced to just worrying about meeting the ends !
I start this project with the hope of raising some funds to help him continue his studies. I am aiming for enough money to cover the initial costs of this process. I appreciate all your support, either as donating a little cash or help circulating this project and get more people involved.
Yours sincerely
P.S. The pictures I used as the cover of this project is one of his illustrations.

Thank you so much my dear Nazanin . You're absolutely right and He has done a lot to keep this faith and hope inside to help him going forward. If it's not for that strong faith. He has started working very early in his life to be independent, he is still struggling to carry on along the path to his dreams. But sometimes a part of that energy and hope you need should come from other. I see it as an opportunity for me to raise that hope inside myself as well. hope that my life would mean something more that just routines and I believe that I may have a mission in this world ! Like the dreams we used to share when we were his age, remember ? you're always one of those crazy souls that has inspired me a lot with your energy and hopes. Thank you so much for your generosity, your hopefulness and your support. Love from me

The biggest gift ever is the kind of hope and faith that makes the person stronger than life conditions. The kind of faith that comes from inside by being innovative in ANY condition. It is possible, as we see it in India and China. The amount I am paying is not a donation, I want to buy some of his work, and I am paying it ahead of time. And what about creating a chance for this person to sell his art work outside Iran? I can see much talent in his work, altough it is obviously very sad. What about selling his work on internet ? He can post it to you and you send it to the buyer. It may work or not, but you cannot send money for always to this person, he has to become independent and it takes much effort, yes. I request that he paints hope, if I may have such a request.
