TORONTO A 17-year-old boy from Kingston, Ont. was inspired to give back this summer when he saw how the pandemic was impacting African youths’ access to education. Evan Sharma, the founder of CovART Challenge, decided he wanted to do something to help people in need this summer, and after speaking to friends and watching the news, he decided to put his art to good use in an effort to provide meals to students in Kenya. The project started with Sharma and eight other artists donating pieces for the auction, and then challenging two other artists to donate pieces, who would in turn challenge two additional artists to donate, and so on.

‘I was awestruck with its beauty’
I am a keen wildlife photographer and have been exploring my local area around Yateley, Sandhurst and Blackwater during lockdown. I came across Swan Lake park and was amazed by the wildlife around the lake. When I took the above photo, on 13 February, it was the first time I had seen a Greylag goose and I was awestruck with its beauty. I saw it start flapping its wings and took some shots. It looked happy – as if it was dancing. Being able to discover wildlife near me has provided me with the mental relaxation needed during lockdown.
