This is what motivated kenyan inventor might have moved omari to a cycle use papers i make pencils accessible and affordable in can yeah. Moment passes was a be an idea because they treated in with some of the things ive experienced before. I looked at the to say, this is a very unique idea and its out of the box. If were able to create it, actually end up with a tangible product, then each means that nothing is impossible. Oh news, because in kenya, i usually spend a week on used to wrap up product like me. My mood or marie has found another way to give yesterdays head length a new future. Im ok, so is a Green Manufacturing Company that can afford to spend sales from recycling newspapers, pencils i made for my 100 percent disciple it is because everything is so look, i mean, the only thing that was being on input from my side is a graphite that to use because that is not available, is located the 1st step in actually making defense of steps with cutting the new spectrum size. The next step is now instructing the graphite. This is done by putting blue and then setting the graphite. And once that is done, it goes to the fed stage, which is now the whole process from this person is invited for about 3 days, right in the sun. Then would allow publish defensive to give it a small finish after that depends on the shipping. And once its shipping to the end was for Quality Control to make sure that its doable. Its made all the data requirements that uh, in terms of low quality to standards. Then it goes into packing and is ready to go to the market. As a 1st audio capacity right now, were able to do up to 40000 pencils a day. We can do a minimum of 70000. 00 left, a medium pen since in a month. This is subject to the or the demand that comes in. So we looked at the impact of and rattled into that right now, Climate Change is a very big topic everywhere. So we can use defensive as an advocate of environmental awareness to use the children to input the children and transform the mindset. So that can i book it for a better environment for the children and the childrens children, pencils came as an opportunity to be said, look, now its possible to manufacture pencils from recycling this purpose. This is an idea that wed like to try. We had to do research and we said yes, its a very viable and its unique. So lucas, gen 43. 00, going to be there. First, i was to do this and be able to use that as a tool to not only support a new kitchen, but at the same time to be able to support the environment because theyre not coming to invite them in continuous, according to the want bunk and asked me to 2400 tons of solid waste is generated in a row. Be every be a month. This includes news because we are discarded of to use. How does one, okay, to have the bottom it, it helps invite them into 2 ways. One it symbols with from the environment in terms of newspapers, business proposes enough in the landfill, and they just add up to the pollution. Secondly, by projects coming up with an option for the intensive. What we had advocating is that we should stop cutting trees to make friends, since there is another option that is more equal friendly, that can be able to reduce the number of cheese that i got to make themselves the process of dining, discarded newspapers into pens to seems like a very liberal how is that my mood has been doing the since 2017 and now has the down to a fine art the hopefully to see companionship associates at also was to schools and plants cheese. By doing that, reassuring them that you have a very Important Role to play in advocating for entitlement to st. You to learn by experience. So the plant a tree that will remember their whole life in sub saharan africa, more than one in 3 adults cannot treat a 182000000 adults unable to read and write. When 48000000 youth between the ages of 15 to 24, are illiterate, the access procession that a for me, when it was this point, we were discussed at the system where a lot of the seams are provided by the government to free. And so as long as you are in the Government School or you what i can towards the excise books, pencils and everything that you knew that was already covered the when it in the hopefully to see campaign. Last year, we impacted a 145000 school children. This 145000. Each one was able to get our pensive and we managed to get to schools and planted trees planted the bus. 7500. 00 c is last year alone. With these recycled and sales, thats much more tons out keys, not only giving children the tools needed to a fill in life, but also making them aware of the environments by using these waste people to create these unique pencils in evasion that made sustainability for the future thank is a volcanic house and a gay. Yeah. Is a modern environment to be friendly home and utilize as low maintenance ad locally sourced materials. It places emphasis on the coast to stay inability. I just sent it around to providence indigenous tree that stands in the garden courtyard. Im joined by gregory cuts to tell us small. Gregory were standing on the rooftop of house and a game. Yeah. Tell me a bit more about the push to what sustainability in your industry. If youre not thinking about sustainability, if youre designing time, especially homes like this from scratch, and then youre not doing your job properties. You know, its such a big issue. Can you tell us about the grief that you receive from the client . Some of the things that came up in those initial conversations were like in formal way of living requirement for the 1st time. And in particular, was that the one to the house . Im a single level that into 10 to lots. And so really we needed a lot of space for, for entertaining. And we may have very big. Im open plan gestures on the ground floor. But the kitchen and kind of integrated into the space into the, into the entertainment space. And the challenges when you, when youre making space, its like this. The kind of float is how do you keep them close their various strategies that re adults to, to make them feel more intimate. But you know, in full africa weve got this amazing climates and um, and so its the houses, its a very open, its open to the landscape. This huge doors its, its basically a dropbox that slipped from the ground. And these 2 defining planes, the one is the gone plane and the other one is the ceiling claim. And then these various objects would treat insert into that into that box. You know what i am looking forward to seeing everything around the house. The sanchez view is an Award Winning illustrative that has received across cold lou are you award . Shes a female illustrate to that aims to bring her culturally in spite of twigs into the male dominated graphic novel industry list. Skate inspired, imagined zulu called to us in the skies. The significance of my slice of the collaboration was quite a big deal because its something i never imagined i would ever be able to do as an industry to have in my work on the interior. How the plane is not something i had in the plans, but im very thankful for the opportunity. It helps significance because i suppose i wanted to find the bigger platform to express south african culture and have people see it and takes you to call to, to this guys name, j z z. There is an illustrate thing. His work not only showcases his skill as an artist, but also brings the representation of african culture as to the fold. Shes a custodian, those really called stuff preserving condition and educating others through eye catching illustrations. I would consider that illustration isnt necessarily a medium, its a specialty. And within that specialty you can use many mediums to illustrate. And i chose illustration because it has great communicative power in the sense that you can communicate to a larger audience to visual appeal. And you can cross multiple languages and barriers between people just through the appeal and visual as a tell, think they found it difficult to relate to illustrations in the cultural books, even though they were officially interesting. It didnt, the 2 characters she could relate to. Now being an illustrator herself, its motivated her to correct that in balance in her work. Im working on a comic book. The name of the comic book is nandita. The protector is in the kingdom. Its my passion project. It is literally my baby because it is actually inspired by my niece who was born recently. So its named off to her. Its also story about a young girl who was trying to figure out what its like to have dreams, where she needs with some of the ancestors and she learns different ways of life. Shes quote between the suburbs and the township, and shes just navigating the world in between those 2 spaces. One of the characters is assigned to them and she is a guide for the main character and kind of gives her a little bit about life lessons that she can carry through out her own life. You know, i have relatives and my grandmother was also assigned to my so we kind of had that 1st hand experience of what us im going to isnt what they do. And essentially a single mother, someone who kind of gives you a little bit more guidance, spiritual guidance on your life, and how to go about certain things with caution. And so i think kids work and leads to her own to lu, called to the also entices others to discover the traditions to aids, to impact the education sector. By integrating her illustrations with teaching literacy in south africa. This is because i grew up in the suburbs and i went to model c schools. So i didnt necessarily have that much of an understanding of my ancestors and the traditions of my culture. Although whenever family did come together and have these traditions, i was always curious about what they meant, what they were. And i think it is important to bring it into our everyday lives and peace of mind everyday life. Because adult significance and, you know, it provides energy to keep me going from pages to goals for messages carried strongly through her images and the color. She uses this all to it gives a dont on the walls of jewels to tea in the center of the head is vague. So my mural reps around the entire building. And the challenge that i had was to tell a story with the mural. The story behind the mural is basically about a young girl whos traveling through town and she gets on a text the to the 1st we plan. And then the story, she picks up to the items, little pieces of a tie of from the culture that she with. And through that journey, she kind of understand her connection back to her own culture. I would like for people to look at the work, see a sense of brightness, be reminded of some child like quality in the way that they may be create. But the reason why i use bright to tons of color throughout all my pallets is to try to foster a sense of joy and happiness. Busy just a few steps from the mural is a place we some of our ideas came a live david crude projects i think is collaboration with the studio allows you to dip her feet in the face print making. This was a collaboration between myself and the director of the workshop, which is im a bo and the most to print to 12 of the series which is boxy catch break. Each of the characters find themselves and these folk would predicaments within the city. And i kind of touch on stereotypes and the illustrations themselves and stereotypes like the ways that foreigners are kind of portrayed in the city and how it, how it feels like as a person to one to escape south africa because of the things that are happening in our country and i also touch on the comedic side of things because these creatures are awkward, and i feel like a lot of the viewers can identify themselves in each of the creatures and identify with how strange it can be to be in a city thats still developing, still recovering from all of its history and all of its cost and trying to be represented as something thats a little bit more diverse and more of the community. I think that its important to break stereotypes because they form the fundamental of prejudice. And they kind of eliminate the need to see people as individuals. And i think that that need is really important. And this is why i tried to challenge stereotypes in my own work. We are a young country, i am the age of the democracy of our country. And i still believe that we have so much to offer as far too, as illustrators, and as individuals in general, being in control of how the countries were presented in some way, shape or form, i think is important so that the rest of the world can see south africa in a new contemporary light case work is a testament to the fact that by modernizing the messages of the cost we can learn when we come from and still appreciate how it is relevant to our present. I know back to you. Great. Now this house was built around a large indigenous tree. How did you incorporate the tree into the design of the house . You know, when we 1st came to this piece of land and the trees standing gloriously in the middle of off the stand. Im not sure of the age, but its very established and had a real presence on the sides and the youth was kind of Precious Resource for us to design around. We use the tree as a kind of mock understand to determine like how to position the house. So you can see that this is the living room waiting a day to have the bedroom waiting. And we placed this living room where as close to the tree as we could so as not to disrupt its roots and trump damage us. Thank you so much, quick for your time.
