Making the announcement in a televised program on AMAI’s page, the competition organizer and chairperson for the entertainment, Magga Mateo, said Divine was voted the top winner for displaying amazing skills in arts, drawings and painting.
“She deserves the title. She has displayed very amazing skills. She got talent and that is why we are giving her this amount so as to make her work hard,” she said.
Mateo thanked all kids who participated in the competition for being outstanding and phenomenal.
“We say thank you for all of you who took part in the competition for being outstanding and phenomenal. Let me also pass my gratitude to our sponsors Moto Money for coming in at the right time. As for the judges, Franz Amin, Vida Garmano Michelle Lofts and Diolet Chakwiya, I cannot say much for the amazing job you have done. AMAI is so grateful,” she said.
