VOLUNTEERING AT THE HOUSE OF HOPE: The House of Hope is a boarding school for mentally & physically disabled children. Just like other schools in the area- the children here have no art courses either. Similar to the reasons for why it’s important for SOS Village Children to encounter art in their lives (building confidence, strengthening a different part of their brain, finding a hidden talent, expressing themselves…etc. etc.) the same justifications goes for disabled children. The photos below are of an art lesson I gave about the Olive Picking Season going on now (“Zei Tune” in Arabic). Using clay, because this was the medium that’s easiest for them to use, we formed an Olive Tree out of rolled balls & snake-like shapes.
