‎"telling someone what they have to learn is a long and tortuous road, often ineffective; giving someone the opportunity to explore what their brain finds particularly interesting at the time opens the gateway to optimization of that individuals potential" anon
 

Got to say thanks again to Beca. With the wet weather the Gallery idea helped fill the weekend leisure time for the kids.

They spent most of the morning taking turns to add yet more colourful artwork to our kitchen.

In the afternoon there was a brief work session when a break in the rain enabled me to do a little more tree pruning. Once again the children pitched in chopping the smaller branches up and taking the wood round to our neighbour. And of course they loved the reward of the Lamyai that came from the pruning.

Missing from the photos again is Tai who spent most of his time studying. Although he did take breaks to practise more guitar.

Gu and his brother Bong had a spell of stilt football.

The girls were either painting or playing with the Playdough that Beca gave them.

With the standard of their art work ever increasing we may have to look into the idea of an exhibition fund raiser.

We are planning for the next block wall to be all original work rather than copied from comics , etc , which most of this first wall was. They are doing so well we feel it is time to push them just a little bit more.

 

Just a few new additions including Gu’s great effort at a representation of His Majesty The King.

I decided that the efforts from today, during and after Li Li’s visit deserved their own gallery post.

Todays gallery features snapshots from a great trip around Chiang Rai; all the way from Chiang Mai and back on motorcy. It took 5 days, and along the way we hooked up with a great guy, Martin, who joined us for 3 days. There was so much to see and lots of interesting people met along the way.
