AYESHESHEM, Icon Painter

My name is Ayesheshem Awoke Tadele. I'm a 30 years old artist, leather craftsman, and cameraman. I draw different pictures I prepare leather product such as wallet, bags, belts and others.
I live in Gondar, Ethiopia, with my wife, two daughters and my brother. I enjoy playing kirar (a traditional musical instrument) and planting trees.
Here in Gondar, the out look of my community towards work is backward (undeveloped). I don't have a comfortable place to do my works, and there is lack of support from the government to develop our skill. There are no opportunities to be employed in different organizations and enterprises.
My vision for the future is to develop my skill in drawing through further training.
