After the war erupted in March 2015, Majed Al-Hamdani lost his job at an institute and closed his studio in the capital, Sana'a. He has created a WhatsApp group with up to 10 female members to teach drawing, a group that over years become popular through social media, motivating more young people, male and female to join. Later after he resumed his work as a drawing teacher in private schools in Sana'a, he still holds free courses of drawing for new students from time to time and his learning classroom via WhatsApp is still active. Al-Hamdani has given drawing lessons to more than 1,300 young men and women on WhatsApp during the past seven years of war. EPA/YAHYA ARHAB
