The collective C.O.T.W Children Of The World and I, Lou Jd, need you to help us to set up our first exhibition on June 9, 2017, to exhibit our illustrations!

Sensitized by education during my first trip to Africa in 2002, I have illustrated for 15 years the portraits of the children of the world.

Touched by their eyes, their smiles, their expressions, actions of solidarity in favor of the education I have seen; I began to draw children, the feelings and the curiosity that they bring us.

In my way, I have come across people who have been invested in helping the very poor local populations to build a better future for their children, thanks in particular to schooling. These actions in favor of the small children in their daily life from which I received photos inspired me and I keep drawing them.

Today we would like to make known all our children, all their faces, their looks through a first exhibition, support and make known stories, actions that are made in favor of education and able to draw many more :)

Then, the collective C.O.T.W. was born to exhibit the illustrations and thus to support education´s projects in the world.
