Yemeni Child Artist Amal: To Washington DC to take part in  The International Child Carnival [Archives:1999/25/Local News]

A ten year old girl, Amal Ahmed Alhaj, also a student in Sa’awan preliminary school, has won a painting competition over 150 other children in the Child’s Painting Event organized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The competition, held under the title: My World in the Year 2000, was to paint the best representation of their wishes for the year 2000. Amal Alhaj will now compete in a more important event, the International Child Carnival, to be held in Washington DC from June 27th- July 20th. The Carnival is organized by the World Foundation for Child Arts, and also commemorates the United States Independence Day.
The painting by Amal is about the fetters of racism and the hope that humanity will be able to throw off these chains. Amal’s father will accompany his daughter during the happy event. We wish Amal and all other talented children in Yemen good luck..
Although the Yemen Times was not able to get the painting due to copy right violation, we plan to have a comprehensive article about this talented artist and her painting once she comes back from the States next month.
