Work Of Art\u00a0<\/h4>\n

The exhibition showcased the artistic work and portraits of seven domestic workers Maya, and Evelyn from the Philippines; Anu and Diana from Sri Lanka and Helen and Elisabeth from Kenya.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They were provided a pair of plain TOM’s shoes to express their unique experiences from their joys to their struggles and their dreams.<\/p>\n

Extending Support<\/h4>\n

The items were sold\u00a0with proceeds going to the domestic workers for their efforts, who then generously pledged to donate part of the funds to the Dubai Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Foundation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To add experience to it all, their works of art were displayed alongside their portraits shot by acclaimed Emirati photographer Amani Al Shaali.<\/p>\n
