The fact that he has the instrument could mean that he's yet another artist who's ended up in poverty.
Would it be possible to know where this was? Maybe some local NGO could help them.— Anamika (BasAinweHi) (@HiAinwe) June 6, 2021
Any idea how this person may be traced and helped? Willing to contribute.
