Support a Young Indian Artist (Ansh Metharamani) Living with Prader-Willi Syndrome We’re reaching out to support Ansh Metharamani, a talented young artist from India who has been diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic condition. Ansh’s artwork is deeply inspired by the rich culture and heritage of Bengal, and he uses his creativity as a powerful means of expression and resilience. To help support Ansh and others like him, we are offering a chance to pre-order items featuring his original artwork. All proceeds will go directly to Ansh and the "Rare Warriors of Bengal" — a charitable initiative dedicated to supporting individuals living with rare diseases. ✨ Available Items for Pre-Order (Hand-carried to the U.S. by Ansh’s mother): • Canvas pouches with zipper – $7 or $9 • Set of 4 coasters – $10 • Canvas bags – $12 • Mugs and shot glasses – (prices available upon request) 🧵 Each item reflects Ansh’s unique interpretation of Bengali art and culture. 🚨 Important: This initiative is independent of BCS (Bengali Cultural Society) and involves no commission or profit to any organizer. We are simply trying to help an extraordinary young artist share his gifts and gain support. 👉 If you are interested in supporting this cause, please reach out to executive@bcscle.org to place your pre-order no later than May 10. Let’s come together for a beautiful cause. Every purchase makes a difference. (fb)
