On Thursday 31st March I was invited to Kesinee International School (KIS) to judge a charity art competition. All contestants were students from various schools around Bangkok, ranging from ages 8 to 19. The contest topic was “moving forward” and there were many impressive entries. It was a pleasure to see what the kids had come up with and how they realised their ideas. All the entered art was auctioned for charity including pieces donated by students.
Dear All,
I would like to thank everyone for their participation in and support for our first Charity Art Competition. We are very pleased to say that we raised almost Bt 30,000 for the charity ‘The Hub’. For more information on them have a look at their website: www.thehub.childlinethailand.org . We will be making the donation to them after the Songkran School vacation.
I would also like to give special thanks to our three judges for taking the time out of their busy schedules to assist us in judging: Katherine Jones (Attic Studios), Aey Panachet (Tongson Gallery) and Peta Basset (Journalist and Photographer).
