The civic initiative Mrdni so prst (Move with a finger) along with Healthy Options Project Skopje (HOPS) organized a successful auction on 11.04. at Public Room. The auction evening was filled with famous artistic names and their artworks, so funds can be raised for the children whose parents are drug users and sex workers.

As a lack of finance, HOPS needed to move with a finger and make an auction so these children can come to the day care center for rehabilitation and re-socialization, which will continue to provide services for them, such as psychology sessions, interaction with social workers, development of creative skills and creative mind, social activities and visits to cultural events.

The auction night was split into two auctions. The auction of art works was led by the famous Macedonian actor Sasko Kocev. While parallel with this auction, there was a silent auction where people bid on a sheet of paper for paintings, photographies and handmade works.

The event gathered 295,692 MKD (about 4,808 EUR)out of which 187,850 MKD (about 3,054 EUR) were collected by public auction, while the silent auction with direct sales and box donations collected 106,842 MKD (about 1,737 EUR).
