Miami scholar and mentor missing off of South African coast

Please continue to keep the family and friends of Seraphin Bernard in your thoughts and prayers. This 22-year-old brother, a Miami native and 2004 Silver Knight award winner for art, has been missing off of South Africa's "Wild Coast" since this past Sunday. He is a graduate of DASH of Miami and recently graduated from Pratt Institute of Art and Design's Advertising program in New York. He is a mentor for young members of our community, and developed a program to spark their interest in art while he was a student at DASH. His family and friends, although receiving disheartening news about his disappearance, are still keeping the faith for Seraphin's return home. Go HERE to see Seraphin's portfolio.
