Illuminating the Hearts of Children Worldwide
As a father of three children, I pursued my passion for bringing happiness to children by leaving my job and establishing my own venture in 2010. My focus revolves around designing and workshops tailored for children and education.
With the goal of fostering an appreciation for life and combating bullying, I develop original animations that are showcased in schools. Additionally, I extend my support to families facing school refusal by gifting them with drawings and poems. Engaging in charitable endeavors, the actively contributes to initiatives such as providing Christmas presents to bereaved children and offering meals to underprivileged families.
My vision is to illuminate the hearts of children around the world.
