"My name is PASCAL OSMAN CHUMA (picture top left above), I have been a Fine Art teacher since 2000.  I have nurtured children's lost and hidden talents in art, exhibited children's art with themes:  child labour, female genital mutilation, orphans, Love, food and shelter, children living with HIV/AIDS, street children and health care. About 7 children in the slums can now do commercial art; like mural paintings, sign writings, batiks, drawings, paintings, carvings, screen printing, face painting, mosaic and collage.

A large number of children and the youth who have the potential to exploit their talents is large in Kenya since the government scraped ART in primary schools. Fine Art colleges are expensive to most parents.   The college I went, do not offer Art to children, only those ones who have successfully passed through high school.

In the year 2007 we decided to start an Art Centre called 'BOBEA' (To Excel) to give children a golden opportunity to express themselves through art and earn an income. We are registered under the government Act."
