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.
how can we help?

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.
