This year, we are supporting the charity Comité Tiers Monde Sourd!

Comité Tiers Monde Sourd is a humanitarian association that helps deaf people in developing countries. Their objectives are to:
- give deaf children the right to go to school and learn in better conditions,
- identify needs in educational and professional projects,
- provide educational and school material support to the most disadvantaged children,
- finance various works of educational and professional establishments,
- inform local authorities about the problems the deaf community encounter,
- carry out humanitarian missions.

You can visit their website if you want to know about the charity and their activities or just support them! https://www.ctmsourd.fr/

Because we support the charity Comité Tiers Monde Sourd, the theme of this 7th artbook is : Deafness ! A subject very inspiring for Kokoro’s artists, who offered us this year not only illustrations but also comics and short stories. We can't wait to see it printed! Here is a sneak peek !

Get a maximum of donations for the charity, knowing that we would need 200 euros for the production of the sweatshirts, the masks and the printing of the goodies. We will finance the printing of the artbooks ourselves. So we are counting on you !!

Kokoro is a project created by artists who work on it on their free time. We spend time, energy on it (and even money from our own) because we believe in it ! Since we are just an humble group 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 our generous donors, we offer different 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 make the dreams of sick children come true.

- 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.
Bloom Association (http://www.bloomassociation.org/). They work for marine conservation, protection of the seabed in Europe.
Mom-Made Toys (http://www.facebook.com/mommadetoys). They work with Thai mothers of disabled children to design toys that match their needs and development.

- In 2016, we supported Maison Chance (http://www.maison-chance.org/maison-chance/). They defend the cause of women worldwide. They give hope to disabled people, orphans, homeless children and disadvantaged people in Vietnam.

- In 2017, we supported Latir por Mexico (http://www.latirpormexico.org/). They supports groups of people affected by conflict, natural disasters or any kind of situation in Mexico.

- In 2019, we supported the WeForest (https://www.weforest.org/) which is dedicated to sustainable reforestation. Their main objective is to participate in the fight against global warming by planting trees.
