My name is Jeremiah and i am a boy aged fifteen. i started painting in 2006, by then i was a very small boy. i never knew how to paint very well but now i am better. My hobbies are painting , drawing and listening to the music. My biggest wish ever is to become a professional artist. The reason why i want to do this is because i want to help poor people and unhealthy kids and adults through my art. i am also looking forward to paint as many paintings as i can during my lifetime to show gratitude to the people who helped me to be who i am today.

My name is Thabu and i live at Kasisi - a very beautiful home indeed. i am 13 years old. when i grow up i want to be a pilot because i love to travel and i want to help people who want to migrate from one country to other. i love drawing and painting, it makes me feel that i can do everything if i believe and trust in God and in myself but the most important one is that i am good at school and that i smile often. painting takes me far, so far that i never expected it. The best thing in being an artist is that i can go to Chaminuka and i can just sit there, look at the beautiful nature and paint it the way i like.

My name is diddier and i am 17. i am originally from rwanda but Kasisi is my home since i was a small child. here i learned everything that i know now. it is also here that i had a chance to start painting. Since the first day i took the brush into my hand i know this is my dream that came true – i want to be an artist. i want to describe my thoughts and my dreams in the form of a picture because picture often says more than a word can say. i hope one day i will be able to communicate with people all over the world through my art.

My name is Jacob innocent Zulu. i always have a dream of the greatest artists who have ever lived in the world. This is one of the reasons i paint pictures. On the other hand i do it in order to put smile on people’s faces and to let people see the beauty that God has given us. Apart from painting i also enjoy playing football. when i complete my studies i would like to become a graphic designer and to teach art so that i can share my talent with others. i hope and trust that all my dreams will come true in the years to come.
