On February 28, 2026, the youth of VOLIY organized a fundraising event called “Painting for Love & Justice.” It was an afternoon dedicated to art, creativity, and community, where participants created paintings inspired by Valentine’s Day while reflecting on themes of human dignity, love, and solidarity.
We would like to thank everyone who supported this event—not only those who attended and shared the afternoon with the youth, but also those who contributed through donations even if they were unable to join us in person.
The funds raised will support the group’s end-of-year educational trip.
Rural & Migrant Ministry’s youth arts programming is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
