It was wonderful to have guests from abroad tell me how beautiful it [my mural] is. But for me the most special thing is when the elders say it truly reminds them of their village.

My talent:
I love to draw and paint. I drew a portrait of the President of Israel, Shimon Peres, which I presented to him during his visit to my Beit Shemesh school. It made me feel special to hear him compliment my work.
I'm proud of:
I was honored to be asked to paint a mural in the new Igersheim Center. It took me two months of labor to transform a wall of the Center into a traditional Ethiopian village. It was wonderful to have guests from abroad tell me how beautiful it is. But for me the most special thing is when the elders say it truly reminds them of their village.
My future plans:
I have been offered a place to attend Bezalel Academy of the Arts after my army service, and I currently participate in a weekly program there.
