Olivia C. Barha
The Ubuntu Family Initiative
Hi, I'm Olivia,
Is an Everyday Creative based out of Barcelona
Open, curious, proactive and generous,
This is my story...
Of stepping out of my comfort zone ,
my ambition to contribute towards other kinds of narratives and to treat the children of the world to the wonder of a little music, art and book reading.
We believe that the creative arts can help to empower people and improve their overall well-being. We run online projects with children facing life challenges as part of the Ubuntu Family Initiative.
​
Through music, painting, Book Reading and Cooking they are given the opportunity to express themselves, develop skills, meet new people, and nurture their well-being.
​
​As the Ubuntu Family Initiative we look forward to developing our activities into a variety of other art forms in the not so distant future.
​
We believe that everyone should have access to the power of creativity, regardless of their circumstances.

“Art allows me to draw, paint, write and play, as an expression of my innermost selves.”
Sadith Age 10 - Peru Volunteers - Cusco, Peru
"My hobby is drawing. Drawing makes me happy because when I am alone I usually draw, it makes me feel confortable, I imagine that drawing is my friend it reminds me that I am not alone and it makes me happy."
