FANA 35th Anniversary Bronze Statue and Book
This sculpture was created by Clemencia Uribe Rivera, the wife of Arturo's brother.  It was commissioned for the 35th anniversary of FANA in 2007.  She is also the artist who created the La Familia Sculpture in honor of FANA's 30th anniversary in 2002.  She has exhibited her work throughout Colombia and Brazil, and is a very accomplished artist focusing on works involving dance and the human form. The Sculpture is called Ternura ("Tenderness").  It depicts the hand of a mother and child.  The meaning of this piece of artwork includes the dreams of family from the eyes of both mothers and children, honoring FANA's mission of "Giving a family to a child" and also depicts the wants and desires of so many mothers who long for their hand to be able to hold the hand of their child.  From both sets of eyes, truly a gift of God and an act of love. Also included with the sculpture is a FANA 35th Anniversary book.
