My story as Brandon's agent:
I connected with a lovely Zimbabwean lady when I was volunteering for a lion conservation project in Zimbabwe in December, 2017. Caroline spoke of her children very proudly and showed me her son Brandon’s paintings. I was immediately blown away by the incredible skill for a young man of 17 years of age. I saw great potential in Brandon and I believe that he is capable of reaching unlimited heights in life. Caroline opened up to me about her daily struggles to survive living in poverty. We can support Brandon improve his artist skills, pay his studio rent and buy art materials. Although I am only a student who hardly works, I have invested out of my own pocket to ship his paintings from Zimbabwe to Melbourne and will continue to make immense efforts in showcasing them. Considering the poor economy of the country where there are no jobs, by purchasing his artwork we have the power to empower him to support his family.
