This year, we support We Forest: WeForest is an international non-profit organization dedicated to sustainable reforestation. Its main objective is to participate in countering global warming and promoting the international movement to recover part of the forests which have disappeared.

You can directly check the website if you would like to know more about their activities, and you can also support them by donating !

https://www.weforest.org/

Because we support the WeForest association, the theme of this 6th artbook is: The Forest! A subject so inspiring for the artists of Kokoro that we propose this year at the same time illustrations but also small comics and short stories. We can't wait to see it printed! Here is a sneak peek !

Get a maximum of donations for the association, knowing that we need 700 euros for printing artbooks, cards and T-shirts !

We count on you !!

Kokoro is the project of artists who work on it in their free time. We spend time, energy on it (and even money from our own) because we believe in it ! Since we are just simple humans beings with no big sponsors behind us, we only have a small capacity of actions. If this project speaks to you or if you're just an artbook lover, you can help us ! You won't regret it !

For all the generous people who will help us, there will be a lot of nice rewards !

- In 2012, we made our very first artbook and supported the charity Arc-En-Ciel ( http://www.arc-en-ciel.com/ ) that allows to realize the dreams of sick children.

- In 2013, for the second artbook, we supported the American Association Global Fund for Women ( http://www.globalfundforwomen.org/ ). They defend the cause of women worldwide.

- In 2014-2015, we supported exceptionnally 3 organizations :

Main dans la main avec l'Afrique ( http://mainaveclafrique.jimdo.com/ ). They allow access to safe drinking water to the Senegalese population.
