Sewa Ashram #2

This young man in a wheel chair produced some of the most colorful and strong compositions...






Janis begins an impromptu art lesson on request from "Heli-" short for "Helicopter" - not his real name but the name he likes to go by. Not long ago he was begging on the streets, but now is in school and operates a small canteen for the residents.












Another of the young artists Chuck worked with...












One of the residents began painting prolifically about 4-years ago. His works are displayed all over the Ashram. Here are three in one of the residents' sleeping areas...












Taking a break from painting...


We think this is an apple or piece of fruit, though we're not sure, the young girl who painted it is only 3-years-old! She had no help!!! The photo doesn't do it justice - it is truly a beautiful painting.
