founder of ArtKids.My own daughter Soraya opened my eyes on seeing the spontaneity of children's drawings. We usually notice how happy children (and their family) always respond to the attention and recognition. And the children of Kenya? It stimulates, empowers them that they can cooperate with their drawings in the fundraising and work for their future.

Together with my wife Christine I desire and work hard, to make a difference among communities, who are deprived economically and socially. We did this through setting up programs, projects and activities that can give them an opportunity to realize their potentials and improve their status and livelihood. |

Marion Aerts-Mhlanga offers a platform to the best artists from this African country.
