Description
Developing a domestic zoo and residence
My name is Jack Eyram Azor. I am an artist living with my wife and three children in Ghana.
I see a great need in Africa/Ghana for development and I am confident that this can happen through art and creativity.
I recently bought a land which I want to develop, not only as my personal home, but as an educational centre in the community and a residence to welcome people from all over the world.
We are currently building the residence itself. In addition we plan to rear chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, ducks and breed dogs.

You can also benefit from my personal experiences as an artist. I studied visual art and can teach you anything about painting and drawing.
