Mi otro mundo

Novagraaf supports the humanitarian association "Mi otro mundo" for disadvantaged children. As part of that support, Novagraaf Trademark Attorney, Aurélie Guetin undertook a humanitarian mission to Peru, distributing school supplies and T-shirts to the children.

Live once in 'Another World'

The school is called "MI OTRO MUNDO" (MY OTHER WORLD) and it is really appropriately named! Located in Zapallal, a shantytown near Lima, it brings an incredible and magical freshness to this place. Here, everything is done so that one forgets that two steps away someone is illegally constructing their house in the mountain because they cannot pay for a plot of land, accepting to make do without electricity and running water...This school brings colour to life, to the children's hearts and to those, like me, who are passing by... Helping "Mi Otro Mundo" is adding a little bit of red, yellow and pink where everything could remain grey. By offering materials and T-shirts to the schoolchildren, Novagraaf has given them a new opportunity to be filled with wonder and has added its touch of colour to this magnificent rainbow!

Thank you on their behalf!

Aurélie Guetin
