RE: Painting With What's Left
For many, it will be difficult to return home after a war, and a great many crimes take place there – rape, abductions, the trafficking of people, to name but a few. Often, the moment they return is just a brief instant when they might be seen as heroes; after that, they are people who are no longer given a second thought.
I remember those cards too; my grandmother used to buy them. In the early days, they were also sold door-to-door – I suppose to raise money for disabled artists. There were many mouth and foot painters amongst them. These days, I don’t hear anything about that at all.
Please bear in mind that the working language in this Community is English! If you describe something in Spanish, please include the English translation as well – thank you.
This BOOMING vote is yours and well deserved!

People forgets soon.
I guessed in other countries this type of asociations should exist. The last calendar I have is fron about fourteen years. I hope they are still organized making this visible.
Thank you! It's sorry I forgot to add the translation 🙆🏻♀️
Can be no one cares about those artists or there different ways of aid or they no longer paint.
Nearby the city of Arnhem is: "Het Dorp" (The Village). Hete live mainly disabled people taking care of themselves it their neighbours. I doubt there are artists among them.
