While it sounds like a very worthwhile endeavor, and I would like to encourage support for it, it is difficult for me to help you to promote it. I think you will find that most people in the U.S. will be reluctant to support such efforts unless there is some kind of U.S. or international organization that can verify the statements and intentions of the organization. It's a harsh reality that we live in an age of Internet based charity scams and is it difficult to establish trust on the basis of an email or web site without the help of an existing trusted organization. You might do well to contact major art schools or arts organizations in the U.S or Europe to see you can establish a relationship through which your request for materials or financial help can be made to the broader public.
