From: Goma, DRC
Age: 18

My name is BALUMIZE CHIRIMWAMI Kevin. I was born in Goma on October 10, 2002 I am therefore 17 years old and I am of Congolese nationality. I am the son of PAPY LWARHOGA CHIRIMWAMI and MWAVITA NYARUGETA ESPERANCE, I am the youngest in my family with 3 older sisters and 4 older brothers. My father works in a small company that supplies electrical equipment called ETABLISSEMENT UNIQ,. My mother, before starting her cleaning job, has always been in stores and in the cutting and sewing business.

I love my family and my parents very much because they have always done their best to meet my needs, have always supported me and have always encouraged me in the initiatives that I have been able to take and pay for all this because it is priceless. I always make sure that I  don’t disappoint them and always go for it until the end. I always dream of being my own boss, so choosing a college option becomes a bit difficult…

I started to love photography a lot when I was 14 but unfortunately for me I didn't know that I could have such interesting lessons in photography.  That's how I got the chance to have this information coming from my favorite photographer MICHEL LUNANGA whom I thank for granting me the registration to LENS ON LIFE PROJECT…I am currently doing my training to develop my skills and my gift in photography and learn more. I once again thank my family and loved ones for their encouragement for this. I've always believed in my dreams to be a good photographer and I have to make it happen.
