January 2018:
We have just returned from Laos working with teachers and students running two day Art and craft workshops in Nong Kieow, Nan and Pakou villages and the Library and the Deaf-mute centre in Luang-Prabang. We worked with over 120 teachers in that time on an integrated Art/ craft/ science and geography program " What's happening to the Asian Elephants? Do you know?". We distributed Elephant craft bags filled with art and craft supplies to each one of them to take back to their little village schools. The teachers welcome us each time as long- lost friends. We have made a commitment to the ongoing nature of this work. We will spend the year fundraising to join the teachers in Laos in November 2018 to run a DrawingtoLearn program for them and their students once again. Leith, Rachel and Chantha |
