OK, here are some initial thoughts on the Kids Home Foundation project: once or twice a week (Mar - Apr, dates tbc): between 9 - 6pm: painting on cards/canvases (portable, simple, not too time-consuming for children with short attention spans); origami crane making (there is now one volunteer); making clay figures (volunteer/s needed); T-shirt painting (materials needed/volunteers needed). May also have a magic show by a friend at some point.
We don't have to do all at once in a day; can rotate activities within the month. Each activity can be in blocks of 1 - 2 hours (more or less) throughout the day. Flexible hours - to be worked out with volunteers.
What do you think? Anyone in Chiang Mai interested in donating time or skill or materials? THANK YOU!

Hilltribe in the City
1st Anniversary Celebration: It will soon be our first anniversary and we are having a fund raiser to help us sustain the work of Hilltribe in the City. It will be held on 10th March from 7 - 10pm at Dutch Delicious in Chiang Mai. A big thank you to Neils for 'opening' his restaurant to us for the evening. We will have some great food including delicious smoked pig from the smoker at Dutch Delicious and wonderful Belgian Beers. Neils is generously allowing all profit to be donated to Hilltribe in the City. There are only 100 tickets at 450 baht. This includes food and ticket prize. More details to come.

It used to be that the best way to raise money for the developing world was to show the abject poverty that could be found there, but NGOs are finding that tactic no longer works.
ArtSpeak this is what Artspeak tries to do: empower, connect, encourage, provide opportunities/space for art and creativity!
