The latest addition to our art collection!
Mexico | The Netherlands | We recently received a beautiful gift from Eline Hietbrink from WereldOuders and Nellie Markus, volunteer at Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos Mexico: an artwork drawn by one of the young people in Mexico who attends weekly creative educational activities at NPH. This painting was made by Manuel, 17 years old, and will become a proud part of the Royal Talens Foundation art collection!
In addition, we have also been donated another artwork that will be auctioned off during our Foundation auction in October 2024, more information on that soon. With the proceeds from the auction we can continue to support great projects like Wereldouders Mexico. Read more about a lovely NPH Wereldouders project we supported.
