Recently, we hosted a series of art parties across Cameroon that not only brought an opportunity for community and creativity to the children, but also helped us prepare for an exciting event here in Crediton, UK.
Art Parties in Belo, Bamenda, and Yaounde
Our art parties were a resounding success! We held three different parties in Belo, Bamenda, and Yaounde, ensuring that children from all the areas we support could participate. At each location, the children gathered together, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and spent a couple of hours creating beautiful handprints and other artworks using paints and pens. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, creativity, and a sense of togetherness.
The purpose of these art parties was twofold. Firstly, we wanted to provide a fun and engaging activity for the children, allowing them to express their creativity and spend quality time with their peers. Secondly, we had a special goal in mind: to create decorations for the upcoming Christmas Tree Festival here in Crediton.
Connecting Cameroon and Crediton
The Christmas Tree Festival is a wonderful opportunity for us to raise awareness about our work in our local UK town. We wanted the children in Cameroon to be a part of this celebration, so we asked them to create handprints that we could transform into decorations for our tree at the festival.
Hands are a powerful symbol of connection. They are how we reach out to one another, offer support, and express our creativity. By displaying the children's handprints on our tree, we hope to create a tangible connection between the children in Cameroon and the community in Crediton. It's a reminder that despite the distance, we are all linked by our shared humanity and our commitment to supporting one another.
Inclusivity and Community
The art parties were open to all the children we support, both those with sponsors and those without. Our mission is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their location. By hosting parties in Belo, Bamenda, and Yaounde, we strive to include all the children in our programs and foster a sense of community among them.
