MANILA, Philippines - During live art sessions, various artists auctioned off their artworks and decided to give part of the proceeds to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). Jaime Daez, managing director of Fully Booked and organizer of the event, hands a check of P125,000 to Stephen Anderson, WFP Country Director, as they stand next to a unique artwork created onsite by artists of Vinyl & Vinyl art gallery. WFP will use this donation to provide approximately 12,000 hot, nutritious meals to school children in conflict-affected areas of Central Mindanao through its school feeding program.
