I had the joy of meeting
Joyce R Gottelieb and the husband while they were volunteering in Uganda Kampala
for six weeks in November 2008.
Joyce is an Art
Lover and collector. She studied art history in graduate school.
Joyce and the Husband were the chief Guests and Organizers together with Uganda Art consortium at my Art show at Shadravan Art Gallery in Oakland, California USA on 2nd August 2013.

Since 2008 Joyce has been
promoting my talent by sending me art materials and has been my great
supporter during my two trips to the United states.
Her support inspired me
to develop the idea of starting a project called Uganda community Art skills
Development and Recycling (UCASDR) to provide free skills to unprivileged
people in the communities of Uganda.
I decided to give back to the community because of the support others have given me as a self taught Artist.

Uganda community Art
skill Development and Recycling(UCASDR) is now supported by sales from my Art
works and well wishers who donate Art materials plus a group of volunteers who
teach the children.
The program provides
Basic skills to empower the communities and trains in Local languages such that
everyone understands.
Therefore I thank Joyce
for her kind heart, great support, and the humanitarian work she has done for
the community in Uganda.
