One of Kaniz's grandchildren has no birth certificate. Before he was born in Iran, his father worked in Dubai. His father did not present his identification card when the son was born, and so he does not have a birth certificate. That is why he cannot go to school. He is about 16 years old and still illiterate. He has no nationality. He belongs to nowhere. Why? What did he do wrong? Is there anyone who can help him? How? Please let me know. Contact here.

Beside teaching painting to Kaniz I was inspired by her primitive style. During the 25th festival of environmental art, I sold some of my works and dedicated the money to Kaniz. We made a lot of artworks during my two weeks stay at Hormoz Island in March 2010.

During the 20th environmental art festival, one night we arranged a sale for their works. The environmental artists bought works from them. As a result, Kaniz produces more works. In her house we spent a good time and took good memories.
