Latest state of affairs as far as the fundraising is concerned in aid of the Utran Kili Project in Afghanistan.

Status on 4 February 2012: so far an initial € 2415,- was raised through sale of paintings, postcards and further separate received donations.  Furthermore I received a promise of a yet to be disclosed sum to be donated.

In name of the children of Utran Kili, I thank you for your willingness to support this important educational project so far!  During 2012 the fundraising is set to continue and I continue to hope for your support!

Afghanistan Series

Initially encouraged by my son Alex Strick van Linschoten's activities as a researcher and a writer in Kandahar, Afghanistan and of course also by my Afghan friends, I have decided to dedicate the entire year (2010) to a new series of paintings: the "Afghanistan series". With it I hope to highlight the soul and beauty of the Afghan people and their country as a stark contrast to all negative news we get bombarded with via the various media. It is my intention to organize a special fundraising exhibition to raise funds for a particular nice educational project in Afghanistan, worked out and initiated by my dear Afghan friend and supporter Orzala Ashraf Nemat. 
For more information and latest updates about the project see the website of Christian Wenk, the main benefactor of this project » School Project "Utran Kili"
In a short video-segment Christian Wenk talks about how he supports the project.
