Artist's Comments

I promised some of my watchers an account of my travels... so here it is.

For those who don't know yet, I went to Naples to help the Sisters of Mother Theresa. The plan was originally to go there and help them with whatever they needed, which was most likely to be cutting fruit / veg, cleaning, sorting and helping to feed the people in need. For the first 4 days, we did just that, until two of the sisters asked 4 of us to help out with something they called "Colonia".

This basically involved joining in something along with 2 or 3 other volunteers (Italian volunteers) and keep around 20 children entertained for 2 weeks. We were asked to prepare some activities, and join in preparing a play for the end of the two weeks for the children's parents to come and watch. I was really not looking forward to it at first, as I didn't wish to divide the group, but I took up the challenge none the less.

On the first day with the kids, we went to Pompei. First we went around a small section of Pompei (Which btw, I had no idea was so friggen large!!!) Then took them to a small pic-nic area for activities.

This is a picture of the beautiful mountains around Pompei, while walking to the pic-nic area. Vesuvius is on the other side (not located in the photo)

Yeah I don't know why it looks a bit blurred. Maybe the camera wasn't steady or something. But glad you liked it :D

Hmm... I'm not sure. We had done lots of fund raisers instead.

Fund raising is an option too.
My brother has gone to Holland for 3 weeks to help out with the Salesians. He went up through the European Voluntary Service (EVS)

That is amazingly beautiful! What a wonderful thing you did, going to help the Sisters! My own sister is a Daughter of Charity and she is currently in Kenya.

Can't wait to see more photos :D

I would have loved going to Kenya... but since it was only my first time, I didn't wanna overdo it.
More photos should be up soon.
