My July 2011 visit to APW was scheduled to coincide with the 2nd Children's Summer Camp of 2011. 24
children from the 2 local primary schools stayed, free of charge, at the Noloholo Environmental
Center for a week, to learn about a wide range of topics associated with the conservation of their
local environment. I taught sketching classes during the Summer Camp and also visited local primary
schools,
showing children how to draw animals and trees using simple shapes. I created an expedition journal
which included sketches of Noloholo, children at the Summer Camp, medicinal trees, local landscapes
and Maasai with their cattle at the village waterpump. Over the coming weeks I will be adding field
sketches, photos and videos from my expedition to this page. My time at APW was action-packed, highly
productive and a wonderful artistic experience - I am already looking forward to my return in 2012.
