Introduction to New Futures Nepal
A charity organization that supports disadvantaged children and young adults living in the shadow of the Himalayas is hosting an art auction to collect donations. New Futures Nepal, based in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, has been running for 20 years. The charity was founded by Andrew Small, who was inspired to help after visiting a center for orphaned and disabled children in Kathmandu.
The Charity’s Mission
"Nepal has changed my life forever," said Mr. Small, who created the charity to help young people in Nepal find jobs and housing. The charity’s mission is to "empower disadvantaged children and adults in Nepal by collecting donations for initiatives, promoting health, education, and independence." New Futures Nepal has been working tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of young people in Nepal, providing them with the support and resources they need to succeed.
The Art Auction
The art auction, which will take place on Saturday, June 14th, at Boys Cliffe House near Warwick, features dozens of different works of art. The auction will include pieces from local artists, including Alan Rullier, who has reinterpreted original engineering drawings from the British Motor Museum in Gaydon. Mr. Small said he was "impressed" by the number of artists in the Midlands who had agreed to provide work for the auction.
Artists Support the Charity
The French artist Alan Rullier is also participating in the auction, with his recent work focusing on the legacy of the auto industry in the Midlands. He has a collection of original drawings from British Motor Heritage LTD, which he has digitized and transformed into works of art. "I am very happy to help New Futures Nepal," he said. "Children should always have access to education and care wherever they are in the world. The charity does valuable work, and I hope that all of these artistic contributions will make a big difference."
The Impact of the Charity
Another artist, James Ort, has created two pieces of ceramic art especially for the auction, both of which are native to Nepal – a red panda and a snow leopard. Mr. Ort believes that art can help people around the world, saying, "Wherever I go, I think art is a good way to get to know a country. It is also a way to get people better connected." The charity’s work has a significant impact on the lives of disadvantaged children and adults in Nepal, providing them with the support and resources they need to succeed.
Getting Involved
The art auction and dinner will take place on Saturday, June 14th, and there are dozens of different works of art available to bid on. The auction will close on the day of the fundraising dinner, and all proceeds will go towards supporting the charity’s initiatives.

Every contribution makes a difference, and with the help of donors and supporters, New Futures Nepal can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of disadvantaged children and adults in Nepal.
