Cambridge based artist Caroline Jaine is offering her painting “Pashto Rug” for sale on ebay with the aim of raising funds for Pakistani flood survivors. The 2010 floods represented one of the largest natural disasters the world has ever seen – with twenty million people affected – greater than the combined total of the 2004 Boxing Day Indian Ocean tsunami; 2005 Pakistan earthquake; 2005 Hurricane Katrina; and 2010 Haiti earthquake. An area the size of England was affected.
"Somehow this tragedy has dropped from the media", says Caroline, "during Ramadan millio ns were raised in support of the flood survivors, let’s see how much we can offer during the Christian season of good will to our brothers and sisters in Pakistan". Caroline, a former British Diplomat and peace-builder has long had an interest in Pakistan and hopes to begin an art work in the new year that connects her home city of Cambridge with the Pakistani city of Karachi. The money raised in this auction will go directly to the Sarhad Rural Support Programme who help people affected in the North West Frontier Province.
