Since the age of 5, Haitian-born Junior Polo has been following the best Haitian painters in their respective disciplines. He has since developed his love and passion for art through painting, pottery, and stage design.
Polo later found his inspiration for helping youth by working with disabled children at Saint Vincent Center in Haiti. This experience changed his life and he began to develop a plan to start a youth empowerment non-profit organization called GREDEVE (Network Empowerment for Child Development).
