Story
On one of my many lockdown walks I asked my Grandma about her volunteering role at The Together Plan. As I was thinking of drawing pictures and giving them away to raise money for a charity - maybe a heart charity - I was very much attuned to what she had to say...... She told me that she volunteers in the Archive Services section of The Together Plan. She helps people find out about their ancestors in Belarus - many of whom were murdered in the Holocaust. I really understood the impact of not knowing what happened to someone's ancestors. I was so impressed that this work is taking place. It is soo valuable. This charity is small and not like the big heart charities (although they are very very important too) my decision was instantly made. I am now telling people about this amazing work and will then give them one of my paintings. The charity also supports isolated and vulnerable Jewish communities (in Belarus) and is helping building a Jewish Cultural Heritage Trail in the country.
