While millions of our brothers and sisters were waiting for help, we could not sit idly by. We wanted to help as much as we could. We are holding this auction together with ISKAD. On March 10, we will hold our 2nd charity auction for earthquake victims with the Orphan Foundation. On the day of the disaster, I told my friends to have a charity auction. Thanks to them, they sent 420 works. There are also donations that will still arrive in the cargo. I would also like to thank the friends who have entrusted their works to us. Once again, we showed how we are together in difficult times."
