Painting with Legs - Physically Challenged Painter

If you ever visit Assila (or Asilah) in Morocco (also known as "town of Arts"), You would for sure meet Karima, she's a talented young female Physically challenged Artist.. She had painted some very beautiful oil paintings that you would be able to see right by her side (as shown in this Inspirational video).

I couldn't help but get closee to her and talk to her, first I asked for permission to film her while she is painting, she agreed. Then I asked her if she's the one who painted all those beautiful paintings around her wich she told me she did paint.. She later told me that she had the passion of painting since she was very young, she doesn't even remember when she started drawing and painting.

she then later took a break to drink some water, I suggested to help her because of her challenge, but she respectfully refused, she told me that she does everything by herself, as you could see in the video.

I asked her later if she ever gets any kind of help from the government or any kind of association, she said only one "person" helps me.. MY LEG. That almost brought tears to my eyes, she's trying to make a living just from selling her oil paintings.. And she's pretty good at it.

Her story was very inspiring to me, I learned that anyone can do everything if they just set their minds to it. If you have a goal in life you can achieve it as long as you have the will and the passion.

I am sharing this inspirational video with you, maybe it will inspire many of you like it did to me, I hope that you will enjoy watching it.

and by the way, Karima the leg painter, does even have fans, you will see her in the inspirational video signing an autograph to one of her fans, one that was fascinated by her paintings, and I think he even bought some from her. And he is not the only fan though, he was just the one I got on camera, there are other fan of her paintings that I didn't film.

forget about those words "Amputee, physically challenged, Handycaped, Special needs..." because everyone is the same, we are equal. Everyone is creative and can add a value to this world

ONE LOVE, ONE RACE, ONE UNIVERSE

Enjoy the Inspirational video here

It's the first time for me to do an Inspirational video, I hope I did well, don't hesitate to tell me what you think :) either here or on my social medias.

Update: to my surprise, I found my article about Karima on an asian magazine website, it was really heart warming and overwealming.. to see a video that you made inspiring people from the other side of the globe, I think it was a korean magazine that posted it with some really nice inspiring words. They didn't mention me or anything but still, what they did was really nice, I wish I could meet Karima again so I could tell her that she is inspiring humans that are millions of miles away from her.
