During his visit to the DR in July, Mr. Laurenceau also became a supporter of the humanitarian work the Batey Relief Alliance by donating two of his works with the titles: “ We are the world” and “Visit to the Doctor” to be sold or auctioned. The proceeds will be used to advance BRA’s humanitarian effort, which currently provides critical health care and essential medicines to disadvantaged and marginalized populations living in the bateyes.
