THANK YOU to all those who participated in our Celebration of Young Artists, in honour of PWRDF’s “All Mothers and Children Count” Initiative! We received 15 original art pieces from across our diocese—including colourful drawings, moving paintings, and even a beautiful woven blanket. Our young (and young-at-heart) artists were clearly inspired by the theme of mothers, children, and families, too. Although each artwork is unique, they all reflect that powerful bond shared between loved ones. In gratitude for their support of this Celebration of Young Artists, our participants will receive their very own PWRDF swag bags! We hope that these pieces will also inspire people throughout the whole diocese to support PWRDF’s “All Mothers and Children Count” Initiative. With this support, local partners in Mozambique, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi can continue to provide essential health care to mothers and children–so they too can grow up to be young artists one day.
