Well it appears my camera has given up on life! Which would explain the muddy pictures its producing not least of all the pretty mermaids in my Etsy shop have been dealt a huge injustice... Perhaps time for a replacement! Anyho the image above showcases the fruits of a 3 day workshop with Urban Junction in Blackrock. I designed and ran a 3 day arts & crafts program for kids aged 7-10 and it was a blast. They really do come out with the funniest of statements! The work was voluntary and the staff were thrilled with the projects, the results and the feedback as was I. I wasn't expecting the huge bouquet of flowers and the thankyou card signed by everyone. I was really touched and thought what a wonderful world if we were all paid in flowers! I hope to continue working on arts projects with children and will be involved in some very exciting projects with a youth service in Dun Laoghaire this October.
If anyone feels they have some time to offer to voluntary work, the UN have a website, the link is on this page. There is a huge variety of projects from all over the world. They are very interesting, great experience and all for a good cause.
