2001 Bhuj earthquake, Gujarat, India
I organized a fundraiser at the Radisson Hotel with President Bill Clinton as Guest of Honour & an art auction of donated artwork conducted by Christies. Subsequently I traveled to the devastated area in Bhuj and spoke to the groups on the ground about their most pressing needs. All proceeds of the fundraiser were sent to Bhuj to use 1/3 of the money on wells for water, 1/3 for homes and 1/3 to buy looms for the weavers.
