A woodworking club in Javadhi hills

Sven and I were privileged to be involved with setting up a woodworking club in Koviloor, Javadhi hills. This was possible due to the efforts of Dr. Anu Rose and the CHAD team as well as the Don Bosco group who have been working with the children in Koviloor. We started  out on a Saturday morning. There were about twenty enthusiastic children there from the ages nine to fourteen. We made two sets of the alphabet as well as the club sign. We returned in the afternoon after lunch. All of us (Sven, Charlotte, Basalel and I) had a wonderful time. We hope this initiative will carry on. We hope to train volunteers from Jawadhi in the club so that they can carry on teaching the kids there.

The children made a large sign for the club. Made with plywood beading and finger jointed rubber. Finished with liquid paraffin
