A Coquitlam charity raising money to build two elementary school classrooms in Africa is hosting an art auction.
The Shiloh Place Orphanage Society recently received a numbered, framed print of Mother’s Love donated by its painter, Vancouver wildlife artist Denis Mayer Jr.
The piece, valued at $350, shows a lioness and her cubs and measures 29” by 39”.
Bids will be accepted until Dec. 9 by email ([email protected]) or in person (211-615 North Rd., Coquitlam).
The winner will be named Dec. 12.
Proceeds will support tuition and classrooms in Lubumbashi, a poor city in the southeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where society founder Chantal Kasongo comes from.
