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.

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.

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.
