February 18 / Mae Pa
We took Wayne, Greg, and Julie to Mae Pa to meet some former MY STORY students whom we are training to teach with us. Greg and Julie are travelling with Flat Stanley ( see photo ). Somehow I think the idea of flat Stanley was lost in translation; never mind, the kids back in Annapolis Royal will love the photos.
Nan Aye and Ler Moo were asked to make portraits of the 'golowa' ( that would be us) which we then downloaded. They made us look pretty good! Then came the fun part: giving out the proceeds from print sales in Charlottetown. Harmony Wagner had arranged an exhibition of 15 of last year's images as part of an event welcoming a group of Burmese refugees to PEI. All the images sold; with half the money going to the artists and half to the project. Nan Aye and Ler Moo say they will buy clothes with their earnings. Two down and thirteen to go!
