We convert the Lindens paid as donations as well as rents from our stores and give them to War Child. “

According to Hiawatha who also own two art stores, says “It is important to help raise money and awareness for organisations such as War Child because those who decide to start a war don’t seem to think about the devastation that follows it. I will continue working for towards helping for as long there is no peace in the world.”
