The Foundation builds on Mark Obama Ndesandjo's personal experience and proven track record of over ten years working with orphans in China. Its unique focus is sharing art with children as well as other disadvantaged kids to help build a global community.
The Foundation develops art opportunities for young people, complementing work study and language initiatives already underway in China, Kenya and America, all within an integrated framework.
The programs aim to link global communities based on active participation of Foundation members, corporations, the public and relevant government institutions.
