United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is a United Nations Programme that provides long-term developmental and humanitarian assistance to family specially children and mothers in developing countries. They rely mostly on contributions coming from the government and private sectors to help and assist individuals who are in need.
UNICEF Philippines and Daphne Osena-Paez once again team-up and gathered together Filipino artists for children. In line with celebration of 20th year of Children's Month this October, an online auction to benefit children in the Philippines and worldwide will be initiated. This project is on its second year to raise funds and recognized the arts made by Filipino artist globally, with almost 80 items for auction this year, I am sure this gonna be great and means a lot for children.
Recently, a privileged to see some of the items that will be auction on October. Most of them are donated in full specially by artist and some are partially donated though galleries. I had a chance to took a photo of each pieces because I happened to got early in the UNICEF Headquarters at RCBC Building Makati City. I was in "ahhh" especially when I saw Ms. Daphne wearing the strand of south sea pearls donated by Jewelmer.
The UNICEF Auction for Action theme for this year is "The Right of Children to Play" and really reminds me of my childhood through the painting pieces of Rico Doronio (Holen and Luksong Tinik).
There are many items that interest me like for example the 'Crayola' , a double bench with colorful wooden ends that bounce and will follow your curve when you were sitted. Moreover the 'Pout', a lounge chair in bloody red color, i like it...
