Heartwarming Art Project at Shule ya Viziwi
Tanzania | On October 31, 2023, Vrijwillig Wereldwijd, a Dutch volunteering organization, orchestrated a heartwarming art project at a school for deaf children called Shule ya Viziwi in Iringa, Tanzania. Elise Diderich was there to help and reported back to us about the event. She mentioned that over 100 children joined the workshop in which they could paint their favourite animals with watercolours from Royal Talens. A big turnout for a fantastic event!
A memorable experience
Elise did two months of volunteer work in Tanzania. Thanks to a sponsorship of Royal Talens, she was able to take a suitcase full of painting materials for the children there. They were very excited about painting and expressed themselves with enthusiasm, experimenting with the various effects watercolour can create. It provided them with a memorable experience, fostering their creativity and connection with their peers and teachers.
Elise mentioned that “all of the children enjoyed painting very much. It was so fun to see how excited they were when they got to show their painting and hang it up in their classroom!"
