Cambodia - Solidarity : Auction for Shanty Town Spirit children
Sofitel's first auction was held on Sundays in favor of poor children in the slums of Phnom Penh. A little more than fifty people had made the trip to admire the works of the collective of gallery K-Bach artists, to admire the work of the painters and sculptors, to attend a quite unusual event or simply to support the team of the NGO Shanty Town Spirit, beneficiary of 25% of the revenue generated on this occasion.

Only a few artists works generated some exchanges between bidders, and rare are the paintings that reached unreasonable sums. For the occasion, Shanty Town Spirit also set up a booth selling a few products, calendars and postcards, whose sales, went directly to the benefit of the NGO.
