ON AFRICAN CHILD DAY 2012, ART SCOUT OFFERS FREE ART EDUCATION FOR THE LESS PRIVILEGED KIDS
Meet the artists at the ART SCOUT’s art training which was held in Ashabaala village with the pupils of STAR FOUNDATION MISSION SCHOOL to commemorate the 2012 AFRICAN CHILD DAY. The seven (7) volunteers that graced the event were Olusegun Adeniyi, Olumide Morenikeji, Olanrewaju Tejuosho, Olusoji Sunday, Bukola Lawal, Offiong Daniel, and Adeoye da-Costa.
Remembering the brave South African youth, who rose up on June 16, 1976, and helped change their nation and the world.
This year, we stood for FREE ART EDUCATION with ART SCOUT on AFRICAN CHILD DAY… For all of us in the ART SCOUT team, Art is more of a bigger calling, ART for SOCIAL CHANGE. We are so passionate about art and affecting the world positively with our artistic prowess and dexterity. That was what brought us together, that was the bonding. We take FREE ART EDUCATION to the less privilege kids in the villages and other remote areas in the country but this was a unique experience.
The African Child Day presented us another chance to touch the lives of the kids at the rural areas. The project was to complement what the management of STAR FOUNDATION MISSION SCHOOL has been doing for some years with the poor kids of Ashabaala village and environs, FREE EDUCATION!
We had a wonderful moment with the kids, exchanging art as a gift of HOPE with the kids, and we hope they grow up to impact a change in their world… we are AMBASSADORS of HOPE using ART as a tool.
