WETTMANN Art Auctions supports the SOS Children's Villages worldwide
A small contribution
The value of art lies above all in transporting zeitgeist and culture.
Arts and crafts show what people can create, if you put effort into something. Great masterpieces or pieces of jewelry are created. However, it this requires two circumstances: Peace and prosperity.
Therefore, it is a concern for us to try to contribute a very small part to this through our commitment.

Always, if with Verena Wettmann of the auction house the hammer falls, have many humans won.
Firstly, the buyer is delighted with his new piece of jewelry or artwork, secondly the salesman is pleased just as how the auctioneer over proceeds and commission.
Sometimes the SOS Children's Villages around the world are also happy. This is when if donates a portion of the sales price to them. and thirdly, the children in the 575 children's villages around the world are happy.
What we sell "need" no one! A little humility and gratitude for it, that we may occupy ourselves with the beautiful things of the life, sharpens the view for the essential.David Christian WettmannManaging Partner

Hanaa has no idea about art. Nor of a Auction not . Her family tried to escape the besieged region during the final stages of fighting in Eastern Ghouta. Hanaa's parents were on gunned down while fleeing. She and her brother now live in the new SOS Children's Village near Damascus. She have seen her parents not again.
"In the children's village everything is clean and nice. I have a room for by myself because I am the only girl in the house. I feel safe for the first time in a long time. My new SOS mom sleeps with me in my room because I am scared alone and not to sleep. I have bad nightmares. I see my mother in front of me, how she is lying bleeding on the street.
The SOS mom always calms me down. and my brother and I will soon be going back to school. I'm looking forward to that," says Hanaa, describing her life in the SOS Children's Village.
The siblings receive psychological care in the SOS Children's Village. SOS tries to find their parents, if they survive have, and relatives.
This is where WETTMANN Art Auctions comes in. Because only with the help of supporters are SOS Children's Villages able to help children how Hanaa who have lost everything have.
"I feel safe for the first time in a long time": The siblings were welcomed in the new SOS Children's Village Saboura near Damascus.
In the SOS Children's Village, parentless and abandoned children find a new home.
They grow there in the security of an SOS family on: lovingly cared for by their SOS Children's Village mother, together with siblings.
Five to ten girls and boys each live together with their SOS mother in a family home. Ten to fifteen SOS Children's Village families form a village community. The SOS Children's Villages are the starting and point of the worldwide work.
