This mask has a happy face. For the green I can recall the vegetation. The yellow is our traditional stool which grandmothers used to sit on while cooking, and also this part is for our traditional hut, or house. The hair is also just to add beauty to modern girls and people. The white means peace in our country. The stool and hut are there because it helps to recall how things are changing. Now people are using different, more modern, stools – things are improving. After school, my dream is to be a doctor so that I can treat my parents and my community while they come to my hospital free of charge.
