The Desert Oasis

The issue of water is especially important in areas like Isiolo County as drought often creates instabilty among the people when it becomes severe. With this in mind we wanted to highlight the water tanks at Tumaini Senior School with new designs. Thanks to a donation of paint from Nemchand Anand & Co and support from the Positive Arts team in the UK the transformation began.
Watch this space for more designs and please support www.tumainitrust.org.

 This needs a facelift.....badly

 Might need some tough paint

 Some old paint.....really old

 Just add colour

Showtime at Hoyas

This week the young people from Tumaini Senior school exhibited their work at Hoya's gallery located in Bula Pesa in Isiolo. Also contributing artwork for the show was Venus Bill from Brixton and our Clapham project ' Watch Our Space'.
Our theme has been the fine tradition of African Masks. Hanny Ahern's group worked on an amazing nest made from recylcled materials.
For our launch pupils and locals got together to check it out for themselves. Thanks to Classes 6,7 and 8 for their fantastic efforts.
