Leroy green, National Coordinator for Expressive Arts

Actually my hobbies have become my drama because from ever since my hobbie has been the arts, now it's actually my job. This is what gives people in the educational field the satisfaction because you don't earn a lot of money through education but the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping children do something positive."
