Auction for Action: A Unicef Fundraising Online Auction

Congratulations to another Filipina who does great things and makes us proud!  You are amazing Daphne for putting this all together and UNICEF is a lucky benefaciary!  Good luck and I am sure you will sell everything!!

“I know a lot of people recognize UNICEF’s valuable work in children’s rights, but few realize that UNICEF reliesentirely on voluntary donations to support its work on the ground. I’ve helped them educate moms all over the country on maternal health, mortality and breastfeeding. This time, I want to help UNICEF raise awareness and funds for all their other goals: providing children with health care, access to safe water and sanitation, education, and protection from violence, abuse and exploitation,” said UNICEF Special Advocate for ChildrenDaphne Oseña Paez.

For Daphne, “the response from artists has been very encouraging, to say the least. It feels incredible to be able to work with such prominent artists for a worthwhile cause. I’m a great fan of their work, but now I’m in even greater awe of their kindness and generosity. They put a lot of love and devote a lot of time into everything they create, so I know that beyond the beautiful art piece, the artists are really sharing a part of themselves with UNICEF.“
