Working with Peace Corps volunteers, teachers, and artists around the country, we have been putting together a creative arts camp to be held in August at
Mokolodi Nature Reserve. Mokolodi often hosts camps for school children who are chosen by their teachers as stars in their classes. This one will target kids who are struggling in school academically, behaviorally, or developmentally. It will infuse a life skills curriculum into different types of art: storytelling, dance, music, painting, and ceramics. One of the artists helping to put on the camp is Wilson Ngoni. Wilson is currently renting a small room in Ramotswa where he said he is "hiding out" to paint. He invited us over to take a look last week.
