Kids organize art exhibit to help tsunami victims
April 16, 2011
SUBIC BAY FREEPORT — Grade school students here have pooled their paintings in an arts exhibit to raise funds for disaster victims in Japan.
Casa Kalayaan International School (CKIS) principal Joanne Prieto said the arts exhibit was conceptualized a couple of months ago after seeing the children’s beautiful artworks made at the Subic Lighthouse Marina.
“We thought the paintings should be put on exhibit for a wider audience,” she said.
Prieto then made arrangements with Lighthouse manager Argee Gomez, a noted supporter of environmental advocacy, who excitedly agreed on the proposal and named the project “Towers”, an art exhibit at the Lighthouse to save life in Japan.
“The destructive earthquake and devastating tsunami had inspired several students to make posters on Japan, representing hope for their recovery,” CKIS Student Council president Michelle Prieto said.
“The Casa Kalayaan International School Student Council was so moved by these efforts and wanted to organize a fundraiser for this country (Japan) in its time of need,” Michelle said.
The young artist said there are about 20 paintings exhibited, each selling between P2,500 and P8,000.
“Fifty percent of the sales will go towards helping Japan,” she added.
Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) administrator Armand Arreza said students of the CKIS in Subic had taken the initiative to raise funds in their own way.
“They put up their own first exhibit, not to profit from the sale of their artworks, but to help in their own little way the victims of disasters in Japan,” Arreza said. “Their parents should be proud of them, like how I am proud of these kids.”
Arreza’s children, fifth grader Lorenzo Gabriel and fourth grader Danielle Bianca, both students of CKIS, participated in the exhibit.
Aside from the fundraising efforts of CKIS students, the Subic Freeport community also responded to a relief drive initiated by the SBMA in the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake.
