On Friday, the 5th of July 2019, the Ubuntu Visual Arts Scholarship was presented to Grade Six graduate of the Wolmer\u2019s Preparatory School, Nia-Amoi Currie, by UCAP Founder & CEO, Kathryn Lawrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The award accompanied Nia\u2019s receipt of the Top Visual Art Student Award for the academic year of 2018-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe award was inspired by my own receipt of the Top Visual Art Student Award in 2008 at the Wolmer\u2019s Preparatory school. That really set the tone for who I would become as a creative and a person. It has always been a strong desire of mine to pass on the baton to persons coming behind me and help them to actualize their goals. I\u2019ve been so blessed with all that I have had the opportunity to receive and experience and I want nothing more than to do what I can to allow other persons to receive more than I have, so that they can be propelled even further when their time comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is honestly the reason for Ubuntu, \u2018I am because we are\u2018 and my hope is that I can continue to help others to be because I am\/was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
