Mexican children donate art to affected Taiwanese

“The artworks will remain in Taiwan because the young creators of the pieces have decided to donate them for the benefit of those affected by the recent natural disaster,” said Martin Munozledo, head of the Mexican office.

Over the past few years, artwork created by the children of Mexico's Unidad Ludica Margarita Septien de Nogueras has been exhibited in museums in Canada, Germany, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United States, according to Munozledo.

In February 2006 they were recipients of the Coming Up Taller Award, which was bestowed by Laura Bush, who was the U.S. first lady at the time.

Munozledo added that proceeds from the sale of the paintings at the exhibition, titled Con los Brazos Abiertos (With Arms Wide Open), will be given to the Da Wu Education Center, mainly for the use of young children and teenagers from low-income aboriginal families who live in Da Wu village, located in southeastern Taiwan's Taitung County.
