In recent months, many children have been denied remote schooling because they do not have a PC, tablet or a simple connection. In many cases the interruption of the frequency school is transformed into abandonment. For these children it means the very real risk of being cut off from society - a society where technology, today more than ever, does not discount those left behind.

TvBoy's work in support of children in difficulty is called Sauces and mentions symbolically The creation of Adam di Michelangelo, where the Father extends his hand to his Creature. A gesture of love and, today, of hope. The hope of being able to bring down in the country the inequalities social.

Sauces it is not the first work with which the artist interprets the contemporary world in the Covid emergency. In February TvBoy posted the photos of Hayez's kiss at the time of the Coronavirus on his Instagram profile without making it clear where exactly the installation was made. The sensational reinterpretation depicts lovers with a mask on the mouth and Amuchina in the hand.

The message expressed by the artist with Sos is clear: "Children are the life force of our society, let's help them get up". With the work Tv Boy directly supports the activity of The Tree of Life Foundation who has been working in the slums of big cities for years. To date she has distributed 5000 meal vouchers, more than 700 devices and internet connections for approx 2000 children. Now it is possible to support the activity of the Social Cooperative also by purchasing the personalized t-shirt with the SOS artwork on the portal Worth Wearing.

Ivano Abruzzi, director of the Tree of Life, is grateful to the artist for the gift and commitment. "Fallen childhood to reach out to - declares - is the precise image of the fragility of hundreds of thousands of children in our country, where the poverty that has affected over one million and two hundred thousand children for years is almost always accompanied by social marginalization and great difficulties in the field of education. The worsening of poverty following the COVID-19 emergency was an immediate fact for many families already in absolute poverty that brought great suffering to children by effectively excluding them from school, removing from their plate what little food the families had available , multiplying family tensions and subjecting them to new violence. "

An alarming picture that not very many are aware of. Initiatives like Tvboy's are needed. Also and above all to bring to the eyes of most something that is consumed a stone's throw from our homes, but in the shade. So let's donate.
