“The first time I got into the arts was when I was around five years old. I’ve loved art since I was a little kid. I love to paint, to draw, and to use many different art media, ”said Goel.

After the pandemic started, Goel decided to share her gift with other children to help them stay busy and learn new things while they were at home. She created a digital flyer and, with the help of her mother, shared it on social media to get the word out.

“I had a few different lessons to offer, some for older kids and some for younger ones, so there are a variety of things to choose from,” said Goel.

And best of all, the lessons were 100% virtual which made them safe and convenient for both Goel and her students. And although she loved to teach, Goel had a bigger mission in mind when she began the venture.

“I saw a need when people started losing their jobs and they were unable to provide enough food. I thought it would be a good idea to donate to the Saskatoon Food Bank, ”said Goel.

Goel raised a total of $ 500 through her virtual art class, which enabled her to serve 1,500 meals to those in need.

“It felt good because I knew I raised it myself and I donated it so it could help other people,” said Goel. “But it felt good to actually hold that big check and give it to the Saskatoon Food Bank.”

Through her efforts, Goel hopes that others will not only learn art skills but also have benevolent spirits.

“Think of those around you who are less fortunate and think about what you can do to help them,” Goel said.
