This 9-Year-Old Russian Boy ‘Sells’ His Custom Pet Paintings For Food And Supplies For Shelter Animals

这个9岁的俄罗斯男孩“出售”他定制的宠物画，为动物收容所购买食物和各种用品

Not all heroes wear capes but their good deeds speak for themselves. This is yet another story to prove that even the smallest of us are capable of changing the world for the better and restore the faith in younger generations. Children come up with the most brilliant ways to solve problems that adults often fail at.

并非所有的英雄都身披斗篷，但他们的善行足以说明一切。这又是一个故事，证明了即使是我们中最渺小的人也有能力改变世界，让世界变得更好，让年轻一代重拾信心。孩子们想出了最聪明的方法来解决成年人经常失败的问题。

How to combine a love for art and help for stray animals? A kind-hearted 9-year-old Russian boy Pavel Abramov has the perfect answer to this question. The young artist from a small city of Arzamas in Nizhny Novgorod has been painting beautiful portraits of pets and not to make money for his toys or a new phone, as you would expect. He exchanges his lovely portraits for animal food and supplies and donates it to a local shelter. Everyone can help in their own way.

如何将对艺术的热爱和对流浪动物的帮助结合起来?对于这个问题，9岁的俄罗斯小男孩帕维尔·阿布拉莫夫给出了完美的答案。这位来自下诺夫哥罗德(Nizhny Novgorod)一个小城市Arzamas的年轻艺术家一直在为宠物画漂亮的肖像，而不是像你想象的那样，为了给自己的玩具或新手机赚钱。他把自己可爱的肖像换成了动物的食物和用品，并把它们捐给了当地的一家收容所。每个人都可以用自己的方式帮助别人。

Pavel and his mother Ekaterina Bolshakova started this project called “Kind paintbrush” about a year ago. This idea originated in Pavel’s brilliant mind when the loss of a four-legged friend hit the family and he could no longer ignore stray animals wandering the streets of the city. He needed to take part in making a change in memory of his dear Barsik and he definitely did; in the most creative and generous way.

一年前，帕维尔和他的母亲叶卡捷琳娜·博尔夏科娃开始了这个名为“Kind paintbrush”的项目。这个想法源于帕维尔的聪明才智，当时他失去了一个四条腿的朋友，打击了他的家庭，他再也不能无视流浪动物在城市街道上游荡。他需要参与改变对他亲爱的巴塞克的记忆，他确实做到了——以最具创造性和最慷慨的方式。

But this wasn’t the start of their volunteering journey of helping animals in need. The duo has been managing a group on Russian social media site, VK, called “What a little volunteer is capable of?” which has been proving time after time that a little human being can bring a positive change and the others will follow. The young altruist doesn’t have a helping hand from funds and organizations; he doesn’t have managers and employees– but he has a huge heart and an undeniable talent.

但这并不是他们帮助有需要的动物的志愿旅程的开始。两人一直在俄罗斯社交媒体网站VK上管理一个名为“小小志愿者能做什么?的项目”它一次又一次地证明，一个小小的人就能带来积极的改变，其他人也会跟着改变。年轻的利他主义者没有来自基金和组织的帮助;他没有经理和员工，但他有一颗伟大的心和不可否认的才能。

Pavel paints real pets of owners who are ready to sign a deal to provide kilograms of porridge, meat, and supplies in exchange for a portrait of their beloved animal. He knows each of his models by name and often meets them when the painting is finished. He paints based on pets’ photos and is always interested in how owners met their furry family members. Pavel is deeply touched by the heartwarming stories of pets rescued from the cold streets and this is probably what makes up for all his efforts.

帕维尔画的是真正的宠物，他们准备签署一份协议，提供几公斤的粥、肉和其他物资，以换取他们心爱动物的肖像。他知道每个模特的名字，经常在画完后见到她们。他根据宠物的照片作画，而且总是对主人如何与他们毛茸茸的家人见面感兴趣。帕维尔被从寒冷的街道上救出宠物的感人故事深深打动，这可能是弥补他所有努力的原因。

This brave social initiative has already spread beyond Arzamas city. Animal lovers from all over Russia and even abroad want to have the portraits of their pets made while taking part in a charitable mission. Artwork made by Pavel’s kind paintbrush has traveled to Spain, Germany and more to come.

这一勇敢的社会行动已经蔓延到Arzamas市以外。俄罗斯各地甚至海外的动物爱好者们都想在参加一项慈善活动时为他们的宠物拍摄肖像。帕维尔的画笔艺术作品已经传到了西班牙、德国等地。

Pavel is the youngest volunteer of the only animal shelter in Arzamas that currently houses over 100 dogs. In exchange for his paintings, he asks for food, household supplies, accessories, depending on what the shelter needs at that particular moment.

帕维尔是Arzamas唯一一家动物收容所最年轻的志愿者，该收容所目前收容了100多只狗。作为对他画作的交换，他要食物、家庭用品和配件，这取决于避难所在那个特定的时刻需要什么。
