<p>A run a small art workshop  and coordinates a small centre called Community Youth Arts Centre (COYAC) were we train underprivileged children and youths in the community in all fields of art, in order to promote arts, culture poverty and unemployment. We get them to learn a trade in this field and after which they will have to realise sustainable developmental initiatives to support their communities. lt is a non profit centre with little support we only do our best to make ends meet. You can watch a short video about our centre by visiting <a rel=nofollow href="http://www.africanews.com/site/list_messages/20403" target="_blank">www.africanews.com/site/list_messages/20403</a></p>; <p> </p>
<p>Am very open minded, like to share ideas and experiences, exchanges. l like watching soccer and like traveling, attending art and cultural programs, residencies etc but have had the opportunities due to ineligibility either because of my background, finances to attend and a lot more so l said to myself that can not stop me from making my own contribution in the art and culture sector in my community, country, Africa and why not International. l said to myself because l do not have the opportunity to travel and share and exchange and let our voices be heard through our talents and culture from this part of the globe, l decided to do it from here by joining you all to share and communicate.</p>
<p>Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions about our art and culture. l am alway available to talk to people, conceive ideas, share and collaborate with interested persons. Once more l say am happy to be here with you. Thanks</p>">

The continent of Africa, Senegal in particular, is a second home for me and my family although we live in the Washington DC area at present. As an artist and as a curator of African world culture, it's great to be invited to join this group. It's especially timely with the arts Festival in Senegal and lots of great design on the continent. Look forward to virtual and maybe even in person exchanges!

Your proposed program is very interesting to do. As I am professor in Architecture & Fine Arts we can have an exchange of cultural ideas in the field of these disciplines. I would like to share my expertise as I know I would also learn from others in the process. This will be fun. Thanks

This is interesting. I have a music degree with a good knowledge of harmony and would love to visit Africa to learn music and share what I know.
