I just returned from India, where I drew caricatures of beautiful women and children for Calcutta Kids. I saw first hand how this organization is really making a difference by providing health care and empowering moms and kids in the poorest slums of Calcutta. Check out their website or find them on facebook. Here are some pics of the event and the most captivating faces:
