He said that the painting under the theme ‘Pollution-Free World’ was painted by a total of 827 under-17 youth from all the Eritrean Administrative regions following a two-year study.

Mr. Asefaw further explained that the work of the painting attests to the conducive ground being created towards nurturing creative youths who would compete at the international level.
