Eritrea: Guinness Record of 'Pollution-Free World' Painting Described Encouraging Element for Further Hard Work
Asmara — The juvenile students who participated in painting "Pollution-free World," which measured 7.166 Km, explained that the record-breaking achievement is a demonstration of the latent potential in Eritrea's young generation and an encouraging element for further hard work.
They also indicated that the initiative taken was intended to convey a solemn message through its theme to the world, besides the aspiration to break the record for the previous 'longest painting.'
One of the participant student painters, Hermon Yosef, who described the achievement as a joint venture by the Eritrean youth and students, said that the task was also a favorable basis to exchange mutual knowledge and experience. He also expressed confidence that they would work hard to maintain the record and display better work.
Abel Zerai expressed delight with the even participation of students from the Administrative regions in the artistic work, besides the painting's message of global dimension.
It is to be recalled that the painting that could hold new Guinness record on April 12 surpassing earlier record held by Mexico for 6 Km-long painting involved 827 juvenile student participants.
The children were guided by Mr. Habtom Mihretab to finish the task that was accomplished within 55 days.
