BRIDGING THE GAP WITH COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

Seva is celebrating stories of heart, art, and community with Niam Jain’s mural. Niam Jain is a bright young Canadian abstract artist on the autism spectrum.

In partnership with Peel Regional Police and Woodbine Cares, Seva proudly helped bring his vision to life through Bridge the Gap, a mural that now lives proudly on Brampton’s Trueman Street Pedestrian Bridge.

Projects like Bridge the Gap reflect those values – bringing together artists, volunteers, and community members to create lasting impact.

“Thank you for believing in me. I love you,” said Jain in his powerful speech on art, autism and acceptance.

“At Seva, we believe in inclusion, diversity, and well-being for all,” said a spokesperson. “Thank you to our incredible supporters and funders who make this work possible. Your support helps us continue building bridges through food, art, and community care.”
