The artist has also invited children from around the globe to submit their own artwork as well. The theme should revolve around separation, isolation and connection. The children can send him a drawing, a sketch, a painting or a collage and can become the part this record-breaking artwork. Besides that, they can save the lives of almost 10 million children who are in desperate need of help.

The world’s largest canvas painting by Sacha Jafri will be split into 60x panels of 30 sq. meters each after completion. Each section will be then individually named, numbered, catalogued and framed. Jafri is hoping to raise $30 million dollars from these 60 framed canvases at the Royal gala Dinner & Charity Auction at the hotel Atlantis in Dubai.
