Community Project - Painting
On Friday 1st June the wonderful Noi picked us up
from base camp and delivered us to Wat Praison, a local Ao Luk school. Armed
with Laura and Ting’s drawings of Thai children playing with toys from the
past, we began to decorate the walls of the young children’s classrooms. Ian,
Laura, Ting, Veronica, Julia, Kirsty, Andria and Anna-Marie put their artistic
talents to the test with great success.
Due to my lack of talent I was banned
from touching any paint brushes and appointed the very important role of
supervisor (water girl). Ian, as usual, took it upon himself to chase everyone
with his camera and record these special moments.The evidence of his torture
accompany this article.
The children joined in and added their splash of colour
in the form of gorgeous hand prints.
The biggest challenge of the day was Laura
overcoming her fear of heights and having complete faith in us holding her
scaffolding whilst she left her mark on the roof. The students loved their
newly decorated classrooms and fun was had by all involved. By the end of the
day the GVI staff and volunteers were just as colourful as the newly painted
walls.
