Connor ‘Constantlll’ Peters better known as CONSTANTLLL has donated articles of clothing, grocery/food and art supplies to two charities in a personal project which he tagged “The Gift Of Christmas”.
He said the aim of this donation is to encourage young kids to take up art as a means of expression, communication and to put a smile on their faces in this Yuletide season. He said that art can be used as a therapeutic outlet to mitigate depression in kids and as a means of recreation too.
Connor said he embarked on a distribution drive among his friends and family to raise cash and in kind donations for a Christmas giveaway. The aim being to raise enough money and clothes to provide Xmas gifts for at least 60 kids and their families.
