FAMINE (donation) Painting

If you buy this painting I will donate 30% of my part to an organization helping starving children in Africa I was traveling by train in the south of Russia in the summer of 2000. The train went very slow and along the train poorly dressed people were walking. I asked my fellow passengers, who were these people and why were they walking along the railway. I was told that it was very poor people and they were probably walking to some ones "dacha" - a summer residence - to pick fruits and then sell it on the market. And sure they had a bucket in each hand. What are they picking and how much do they get when they (hopefully) sell it - was my next question? Again I was told that they were normally picking prunes at this time of the year and that one bucket normally sold for $1.00. They walked two hours in one direction, picked the fruit and walked back. At the same time one liter (1 quart) water cost roughly one dollar at the same market.
