and
I am, through Tellus Art (tellusart.org), engaged in the building of a school in a little Indian village, Kalyanwalla, in Uttrakhand in northern India. There I have been contributing by making paintings for sale, painting plates of local birds, astronomy, designing swings for the kids, planting trees etc.
Also: lecturing on Art and Astronomy for students at Stockholm University.
