Aceh Indonesia - Children on the Edge

Pipecleaner glasses were a big hit with the Kindergarten kids!

Children on the Edge are an amazing organisation (founded by The Body Shop founder Anita Roddick) that I am proud to have lent my time to for over four years now!

Usually participating in the East Timor Playscheme’s, it was really exciting for me to take part in my 6th Playscheme in Aceh, Indonesia!! The center is incredible! The teachers and are very organized and really focused on the needs of the kids. It was beautiful to witness the effect the centre has on so many people in a community severely affected by the Tsunami, and to see that even though it’s all about the kids it is also so much more!

This latest "Playscheme" involved volunteers from four different countries who came loaded with arts and crafts supplies to get involved in activities with both the kids and the teachers.
