Something Beyond - Ahmed Karam

Check out these illustrations made by Ahmed Karam done entirely with his digital tools.Ahmed Karam is a freelance painter and illustrator from Cairo.

See this picture? This comes from a town in Canada where a 24 pack of water bottles is 104 dollars and formula milk for a baby is priced at 55 dollars a pack. What’s more, a pack of diapers is 95 dollars and one head of lettuce is 26 dollars. Inuit people are starving in a country known for it’s generosity.

If you don’t believe this is true, you can find more images like this here. This is the only grocery store these people have in their small towns, and many people are going hungry & elderly are dying faster.

You’ll send aid to foreign children that are starving, so why won’t you pay a little extra to feed the people in your own country who work hard & still can’t afford the prices for healthy food for their families?

Please have a heart and reblog this photo to raise awareness that even in our own countries people are starving, join the movement and show the government that we won’t sit by and watch people starve. 

Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, occurs on August 1/2nd and celebrates this first grain harvest. It’s a time for giving thanks for the abundance.

Lammas is the seventh sabbath of the year.

During Lammas, we are meant to celebrate not only what came from Mother Earth, but also appreciate the fruits of our own efforts.

The word Lammas comes from the words ‘loaf’ and ‘mass’ and it really shows how grain is a central part of this sabbat.
