A group of 16 creative artists put together by CAV were in village for a week to create Art with the kids in diverse means of expression ranging from Visual Art to Music, Dance and Craft. It provided the participants a chance for intellectual interaction, cultural exchange and visual expression. It was a rare opportunity for artists from different cultures and continent of the world to come together to help kids unlock their potentials.
Olusegun Adeniyi and da-Costa Adeoye the great two Nigeria ambassadors in the team, were able to connect with the children’s aspiration to create Art and they exposed them to a unique form of Art from Nigeria, ADIRE. They offered a unique artistic concepts, introduced new visual art techniques and media that stimulate the interest of kids to create differs art form. At the event in Ghana, the two represent a positive brand, creative ingenuity and abundant talents of the country, Nigeria.
The two of a kind share same passion, the love for the kids and Art. They are both artist of unequal passion for Art, to help the young ones harness their talents, and put them on a path to reach their full potentials. They build art awareness, sharpen basic art skills, and ignite the creative energy in children. They both share from the philosophy of the Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso; “Every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up”. Oluwasegun and Adeoye choose to fill the gap, to help the young ones with their God’s given talents and potentials, build their creative lives and give them form.
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined”. Henry David Thoreau.
“You’ll never stand so tall as the day you stoop to help a child.” – Anonymous.
The above quoted texts constantly spoken by Mai; the founder of CAV was an influence and motivation on these two friends to do more with the kids at the Village of Hope. Mai kind gestures and selfless acts is an ignition for every one in the team to give their heart into the project. She is such a humanitarian with the drive to change the world. She offers with the team an art engagement for the kids which are a powerful means of expression and therapy.
Every child has some artistic ability and with the right environment and guidance they can discover and harness their inner creative genius. Their artistic abilities awaiting expression can be tapped as a therapy to help cope with crisis, and achieve mental and emotional stability.<!-->
