Both young ladies have had their work chosen for the Friendship Force Children’s Art Show at the Russian Olympics.

Congratulations Maya and Marina!

“In March of this year, Friendship Force international asked its international clubs to participate in a distinctive art project in collaboration with IPP.  This alliance resulted in 22 Friendship Force international  clubs, along with other partners, answering the call to go into their communities and work with school children to generate more than 400 paintings and drawings representing “Peace and Friendship Through the Olympic Spirit”.

The exclusive exhibition has already previewed at Friendship Force international ’s biggest-ever annual world conference in New Orleans in November.  It will move in January to the International Olympic Village for the 2014 Winter Games.”
