Drawings inspired by Remarkable Maria
About the Children's Drawings
Where did the amazing children's drawings in The Remarkable Maria come from?
Tara and Patti travelled to Paramaribo in June 2005 to work with the children of SMART (Suriname Art) on the illustrations for Maria.
Jetty Helstone, founder of SMART, organized the workshop. There was a great response! Over 30 children from all over Paramaribo came to the art workshop. The children took their art very seriously, and showed in their drawings great compassion and understanding for the issues facing children affected by HIV/AIDS.
That was remarkable.
Thank you to Jetty and Maikel. And thank you very, very much to Marten for helping on the first day of class.
