The Ambassador stressed that she is very proud of the massive participation of Hungarian children: 108 children sent their works, drawings and we also received drawings from Slovakia and Bulgaria. She added that the massive participation shows the feelings and vision of the Hungarian children about Mexico and the way they perceive themselves.
She expressed her satisfaction with the great interest shown towards the competition each year. She stressed the role of the Institute for Mexicans Abroad (IME) and the renowned Oaxacan painter Fernando Andriacci who inaugurated this competition, which has become a successful experience among Mexican and foreigner children that drives artistic expression.
After handing over the awards, some refreshers, snacks and sandwiches were offered to the children and their teachers.
