Robin Altman Art Works presented us with a one-of-a-kind original water color by artist Robin Altman. Robin was inspired to create a piece of art to benefit our international work because of our first fundraiser at Neighborhood Congregational Church. Robin donated another painting at the Joy Ministry fundraiser for the silent auction; listened to our presentation and has decided to do more to forward our successful work in Nepal. Not in conjunction, though with agreement to do so with the MY HERO PROJECT, she did present the painting to us publically. In addition to the beautiful painting, Robin gave us the copyright, agreement to shape banners or brochures with her work on it at any time. Robin Altman is a well-known artist in Laguna and beyond.
