FSUN OIL PAINTING LIVELIHOOD PROGRAM”
FSUN - "Juan Luna" for "juan dela Cruz" oil painting program is directly benefiting the artists or their livelihood income. These artists are usually unemployed or under employed.
This Christmas Season, some 200 pieces of these selected oil paintings were sold to “Friends of FSUN”; money generated were directly benefited by the artists in the form of their income.
This "Teach to Fish" Project will surely go a long, long way and can boost the ego and develop confidence to the jobless artists also making them believe that these paintings can easily sell as long as they meet the international quality standard.
Expected also this January 2003 are some 500 to 1000 pieces of P.O., these will be awarded from the Middle East and Europe. This will again add the continuity of the artists’ livelihood.
"The project or program we need now in this bad economy is to have job opportunities and income opportunities for the head of the family" said FSUN Philippines Consultant, Hiroyuki Susukida.
