She also has taken courses on Pottery, Graphics, and entrepreneurship. Ever since she was a child, she has been close to nature, tradition and had a strong sense of patriotism. Through those traits, she acquired several valuable traditional skills and developed deep-rooted cultural identities.

Hamere has participated in many Bazars and Art-Exhibitions and she has been producing many works of handicrafts, for the past ten years. She studied several species of plants and identified those that are of health benefits, and amassed quite a large collection of plant species. She has entrepreneurial skills and enjoys being innovative and creating things that solve problems. Hamere has lots of experience instructing adults on graphics and teaching children arts and crafts for several years.

Hamere Mulugeta came up with the idea, and her beloved husband, Yosef W/Amanuel, has always been assisting on her endeavours. For the past 6 years, they have been investing what they earn on creating activities that engage children. In the years 2013-2019, over 2000 children have attended their events. They want children to spend their free times with them, so they collaborate with schools and get kids involved in their activities. In the current year, they have encouraged the participation of parents by dedicating an entertainment and family day and using the slogan “nu chika inabuka”,  they hold activities like TIT Fetela, Pottery, Shimena, Traditional games and a lot of festive entertaining events.

Mr Yosef has also received short courses on entrepreneurship, Pottery, along with courses on Cake and food preparation. He has also worked for a long time With Mr Habteselassie Taffesse, the founder of Ethiopian Tourism, while also participating in many group exhibitions. Yoseph has published two volumes of paintable books for children, titled “Keleme.”

The vision the couples developed is for this kind of centers to be opened in not only Addis Ababa but also, in other parts of the country, and for the mantra “Nu Chika Enabuka” to also be promoted internationally so that Ethiopian abroad can also appreciate and be entertained. Currently they are produced a children tv show focused on creativity recycling and art.
