We have a lot of interesting stories in Africa that need to be told and am sure the world will love them.

Watch out World, prepare to be amazed.

*Thanks Allan, For introducing us to Animation

However, i wish to share my views on a few points from your article. Firstly, i was a supervising animator in the magnate animation project ‘Tinga Tinga Tales’ , for the 52 episodes and i also worked on Kwame Nyogos animation “the legend of ngong hills”. That said, you indicated that non of the trainees from the UNESCO’s Africa Animated project has raised beyond the workshops! if you did a thorough research you’d find that you are overly wrong! A bunch of us “trainees” who were involved in the workshops are leading in the industry. Am a testament, my colleague from Ethiopia namely, Bruktawit Tigabu, has gone ahead to win prestigious international animation awards, another “trainee” from Egypt,Mohammed Ghazalla won a few awards for his short animated films and has gone as far as becoming an animation professor in Egypt! in west Africa another “trainee” serge pitriopa has pushed stop motion to government recognition for his skill ! i can go ahead and drop 13 to 15 more examples showcasing the success of the workshop ! kindly revise your article
