The profits of the tees will be used to renovate Eris' community center

Eris made his drawing in the Asi-Syifa community center in his neighbourhood. Because the community center is in a really bad condition the profit of the tees will be used to renovate this building. So Eris and his friends can have a safe place to learn and play again.
