MAE SOT & Little Lotus Project

The Little Lotus project has come to an end, thanks so much for everyone that donated to help make this happen.
I worked as a volunteer art teacher in 2 schools for 2 weeks. It was great fun, the kids had a blast some were super talented.

Mae Sot

Hello,

I'm planning a trip to Mae Sot which is on the Thai/Burma border to do volunteer work for 2 weeks in December, for
The Little Lotus Project, run by Spinning Top. I will be painting with children who have been forced by the oppressive
military regime to flee their homeland of Burma.

I will be working on a variety of art workshops with the children, access to education and art supplies is a luxury
for these children and all funds raised from Little Lotus will go towards their ongoing welfare and education.

I'm asking for some help to generate some monies via a donation. This money will help get me to Mae Sot,
cover art materials and help to fund the children's education.

Take a look here at last years project
http://littlelotusproject.org/a-look-back-at-2010/

If you can help out in any way, every little bit will help, please donate via my pay pal account yok@theyok.com

Thanks so much any small amounts will help me get there.

Help Support this RAD project for the kids in Burma/Thailand
The charity SpinningTop is launching the Little Lotus Project 2011 this December and taking twelve talented artists from across the globe to the Thai/Burma border to work with and inspire refugee and migrant children who have fled from the instability of Burma. Filmmaker Gareth Moon from Nektar Films, who has worked on projects such as Bacardi Brazil OE, Fly My Pretties, Shapeshifter and more, will be documenting the project along with US filmmaker, Daniel Zana, the creator of 'The Vinyl Frontier'. Videos will be produced and distributed across various media channels to further promote the project. These twelve talented artists are fundraising their own way to the Thai/Burma border for this year's project after being inspired to get involved after the success of the first Little Lotus Project. They are a talented international crew from New Zealand, Cambodia, Singapore and the US.
Support these guys. ARMY OF SNIPERS X LITTLE LOTUS
