On 13 September 2017, UNICEF France unveiled a large mural in the atrium of its headquarters in Paris (6th) to show them its extreme gratitude and thus made this date “Recognition Day”. The artist Carolalune used spray paint and stencils, drawing inspiration from a photograph of Vincent Trémeau in Niger, and engraved the names of these benefactors, to always remember their generosity.
