“Tintin - Bras croisés” by Peppone

Peppone, alias Christophe Tixier, was born in 1971 in Montreal and now lives in France near Aix-en-Provence. A passionate collector of Tintin comics, his sculptures are created and decorated from original Tintin comics. This bust is a minimalist and very intimate piece. Indeed, Peppone has chosen to highlight the almost paternal relationship between Hergé and Tintin, his illegitimate son, to whom he gives life using his paintbrush. A homage to his father by creating works which convey values transmitted by his parents: the taste for adventure, but above all sharing.

“Craig” by Griet van Malderen

A field principally dominated by men, it is rare to find a female photographer equipped with her cameras and lenses in the African bush! Consequently, Griet Van Malderen is the exception to the rule. This Belgian from Flanders did not follow any theoretical courses in photography. Her talent was born the day she first set foot in South Africa those many years ago.

Swiss Red Cross Project for Moldova: Mobile healthcare vehicles and wheelchair accessible vans to transport the elderly

In Eastern Europe, many people of working age move to the city or abroad. Older people are left behind, many of them lonely and on their own. Pensions are barely sufficient for a dignified life and health care is often incomplete.

We help to establish home-based services in Armenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Moldova. During the winter, the situation is even more complicated because the cold and snow often prevent the care teams from making their visits. Thanks to an equipped car, the elderly could continue to receive their treatments!
