Shafeek is a
graduate of the AlphaMax Academy (2011 Class). He was Valedictorian for his class and on
graduation night he made a very moving and personal speech about the impact on
his life of the unique AlphaMax program of studies and activity.
For his work during the Academic year he
received the Gandhi King Award, the Humanity Award, Art Excellence Award, and a
Tagore Art award. During his student year at the Academy, he also made an
excellent video about Gandhi’s life.
Shafeek
found the experience at the Academy quite intriguing, because the AlphaMax
seeks to bring out the talents and the gifts of each student. He hopes to come back and teach in the near
future. He is looking forward to earn a degree in Bachelor of Science as a
starting point for his career.
Currently,
he is working at the AlphaMax Academy as computer administrator. He has worked
On many
projects for school and also outside school through AlphaMax Academy. He has also
done a
Brochure for
the President’s office. Someone
mentioned that Shafeek will soon release two spectacular videos –Msiba, My Love and Many Faces of Love
Shafeek has had
extensive experience with major graphics software. He has demonstrated significant creative
skills in the multimedia industry.
I asked: How did you find out what your skills were?
“
Shafeek
replied, “It all started when I got interested in finding out how movies,
cartoons, games, and all other TV programs were made. That’s when I really started
seeking knowledge on these items and it helped me creating a starting point building
up my skills.”
One of my
tutors told us recently that someone said to him that one day we might see
Shafeek on stage in Hollywood receiving an Academy Award for a movie he made. I
am looking forward to that day when he places Suriname on the world movie map.
