At Dinh Dong Kindergarten in Ha Nam province not only did we hand out shoe boxes we were also called upon to put our artistic skills into practice. That could have been a disaster except a talented artist had drawn the outline of Disney characters (no copyright here I am sure) and we were handed pots of paint, assorted paintbrushes and strict instructions not to divert from the original colours (much to the frustration of those among us who are truly artistic). I was happy to paint Dumbo true to ‘life’ with the exception of the toenails – a little artistic licence please!!
Not only was it fun but this was the first test the team had been set working together considering we did not know each other until four days previously. As team leader I can say they passed with flying ‘colours’ as each set to his/her task and the end results delighted not only the Samaritan’s Purse Vietnam staff but teachers and students as well.
