    cOLOUR OUR WORLD - PET art competition

    The jurors of the Lil' Leo CIC – Colour Our World Art Competition 2022, had a rocking time evaluating hundreds of art entries ! The debates, the perspectives, the emotions which flowed are just difficult to put in words. What was most striking was the creativity, the bond with their pets and simplicity that the children showed through their eyes. Something to learn from.   

    Well done to all the participants!
