Face Fun



Ana, my new fellow volunteer at Rainbow House, came on an Oasis team a few weeks ago with three other girls. We were talking about something fun to do at Rainbow and she said that the Oasis team had brought face paint and maybe we could do that. So we set it all up, told the teachers, and Ana brought the goods today.

It was amazing! The kids absolutely loved it, and surprisingly, the staff did as well! Most of the kids are difficult to keep sitting for any extended period of time, but for face paint, they would've sat for hours.

It was a lot of fun for Ana and myself as well. We both love being creative, and enjoyed plastering our creations all over the childrens' faces.

Tee!
We took photos at lunch time, quite a while after we had administered the paint, so unfortunately. . .they're a bit smudged in the pictures, but you get the idea!
This is Kanchana. She is an older youth, who typically works, but during the summer has been around to help out. She really wanted paint on her eyes, like make up. She loves eye make up! So I humoured her with a few sparkles and some black lines. She loved it!
Pookow. Or should I say. . .Batman

Pet, a little smudged
Ton, another adorable lion
Kru Bonus, and Kru Thea. Kru Bonus wanted the fangs just to scare the kids with. The one on the left looks more like a fat noodle hanging from his mouth. . .I promise that's just because it's smudged. . .
I'm going to miss working with this amazing teacher and friend!

It was a fun day! Ana bringing the paint was excellent; the kids loved it! They're all so adorable; does anybody want one? 

I'm serious

  2. They look like they were all having a great time!

    I'm enjoying reading your blog-- we're in the process of adopting from Baan Fueng Faa so it's neat to know I'm reading about someone who's at least in the general vicinity of our kiddo!
