more competitions in terelji

on 12th july, the children had a fancy dress competition (using recycled materials) and face drawing competition.

the children having a whale of a time drawing and playing with the paints after the competition!



very creative i must say... i personally like the pumpkin and hip-hop group.


lotus nadaam

on 11th july, the lotus children had their very own nadaam competition in terelji. no archery or horse-riding, just their very own favorite wrestling.


activities in yarmag

the move to terelji national park with the lotus children for their summer camp took longer than usual with the hand, foot and mouth disease ban. instead of just bumming around, we did activities with the children in yarmag.


the ones below were done with the 5-6 year olds.
" check out my beautiful drawing"

hair-styling activities after drawing

a pose with the "hair-stylist"

and cross-stitch sessions with the older children. another surprise, the boys were the ones who completed their designs, not the girls... hmmmm, whoever said sewing were meant for girls?!?!?!

drawings by the children

despite the late move into the camp, flood, rain, riots, etc, we still managed to conduct drawing activities with the children. check out the beautiful art pieces! we were amazed at the talents of some of the children, expecially the boys!!!
