Trained in Interior Design at the IADE School, Sylvia Girón has been trained in art over the years at institutions such as the Arauco Foundation, the Artium Peña Academy and the M-Arte Creative School.
Next January 21, the Association for Development, Fair Trade, and Microcredit (ADCAM) will present in Madrid its sustainable development initiatives within the Maasai community in Kenya.
During the event, a charitable art auction will take place featuring works created especially for the occasion by several artists who have joined this cause, including emerging talents such as Sylvia Girón, Eva Ertl, and Jesús Herrero. The proceeds will be allocated to the Mara Vision School educational project.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about Maasai culture and about the educational and social vision that ADCAM has been promoting in this community for the past 20 years, alongside its founders, Rosa Escandell and William Kikanae Ole Pere, leader of the Maasai community. They will also be able to contribute directly to the advancement of the educational project, which provides schooling to more than 250 Maasai children; to the consolidation of a cooperative of over 2,500 women artisans that preserves their cultural heritage while promoting economic independence; and to the strengthening of the Sawa Mara Eco Lodge, an eco-friendly accommodation run by the Maasai community in the Maasai Mara, a model of sustainable tourism that combines authenticity, respect for nature, and hospitality.
