Christmas art

ELI is undertaking an addition to the paper project with Heavenly Treasures to make Christmas Cards to sell in the states. About a week ago all the children were asked to draw Christmas pictures. ELI staff then selected 16 of the older children who had drawn particularly well to draw some more pictures: this time with a little more direction. Their pictures of angels, nativity scenes and Christmas trees are precious and I know these 16 children felt especially honored the day they were given new crayons, pencils and beautiful clean white paper.

We have some fine ten- and eleven-year-old artists here in Ilula, so be on the lookout for their world class work coming soon!
