An exhibition and art auction in favor of the Deutsche Welthungerhilfe (DWHH)

4 July - 6 August 1995

Water, the basic element of life, is a matter of course for us. In many regions of the world, however, water is a rare and precious commodity. Water scarcity impairs or threatens the lives of the people living there.

The Deutsche Welthungerhilfe is one of the institutions. which in many countries - particularly in Africa - is supporting the struggle for this increasingly scarce resource.
