Kasota Art Workshops ~ Uganda Day 9

One word that sums up today would have to be overwhelming.  I say that not in a negative tone but in a tone of astonishment!  We were at the Kasota Primary School today where there were five area schools (primary and secondary) represented that went through the four workshop stations.  Our four workshop stations were the mural exchange, canvas mixed media drawing, recycled jewelry, and barkcloth printmaking.  We were at the school from 10am until 6pm working with students and talking with the community members about their needs and what they have received from the workshops.  The students and community seemed to not only really enjoy the program we held but also take away the message of “Renewing Material: Nurturing Environment”, which was the overall goal for our workshop.

Today proved to be a long and tiring day but it was so great to be working with students.  Even though the children here are so far away from my students in Texas it is amazing how kids are kids everywhere you go.  They love to create, learn, and laugh!

No images again tonight… not a good enough internet connection. I will try and upload images once we get back to Kampala on Wednesday evening!

Tomorrow we are off to Buyoga to hold the second series of workshops for five other schools!  Buyoga here we come!  Thanks for checking in!
