A Paint Brush and a Dream

Cyril Donkor is a former co-worker of mine at Wal-Mart, now he is on the verge of becoming a successful entrepreneur. His gift is creating African art, which he has been doing for a very long time. Wal-Mart was his first job after leaving Africa, but he knew in his heart that being an "employee" wasn't him. So, he started saving up his money and putting more work into his art. Eventually he was able to quick Wal-Mart and live comfortably, not great, but enough to get by.

His work was presented at various art galleries throughout the tri-state area. Right now he is trying to learn the concept of a businessman and every time I see him, I try to educate him as much as possible and refer him to some other people that could better assist him. It work is very good, everything including the tools and material is straight from Africa. His friends continuously ship him wood and additional supplies if needed.
