I have started an after school Origami class for the childre, took a while to get names and permission slips but it had been running for 1 month now and i think they are enjoying it! Due to limited resources we use newspaper but i bought felt tips and glitter to decorate the final pieces :) Also thank you mum for sending me some coloured paper - they love using this! We started simple and they each made a house then decorated it to look like their own (sort of) We then put them together to make,,,, Kasuva Village!
In a diffferent session we made peacocks, being India's national bird they were very eager and didn't use the glitter glue very sparingly.. must have taken a few days to dry but looked gorgeeous nevertheless!
Hi Lily I will be coming to Sevalaya with my Brother and Sister next month and was wondering if I could email you any questions I had? Will you still be there? What is your daily schedule like? Is there anything you recommend we bring with us? Thanks so much and I can't wait!
