Local children provide environmental artwork for Arlei calendar

05/12/2019
Argentinean tanning group Arlei has continued its long-standing commitment to community engagement by running for the tenth time an art competition for children living close to the two tanneries it runs in Las Toscas in Santa Fe province.

Other previous projects have included the planting of fruit trees in the local area.

The art competition was for children aged between three and 12 and, on this occasion, focused on the environment and attracted almost 200 entries. From these, Arlei’s senior management team selected 12 winning drawings, which the company will use as the imagery for its 2020 calendar.

Arlei held a prize-giving event for the children and their families on December 3. Operations director, Alan Leiser, described this gathering as “a beautiful occasion”.
