The Wayuu Taya Foundation

Local plastic artists visited Tepichi Talashi School for an afternoon of art with the children in the community. Local artists with over 25 Tepichi Talashi children intervened wooden pieces known as 'taparas' and other creations such as collars, vases, and other containers made from clay. The children hand painted all of the pieces with their own designs, decorating them with traditional Wayuu figures.

I am interested in this blog as it is artists helping and working with children that live in a country that a less fortunate, giving them the opportunity to learn about art and develop new skills. The Wayuu Taya Foundation is a non governmental, non profit organistion founded in 2002 to help improve the lives of Latin-American indigenous communities while maintaining their culture, traditions and beliefs.

I have been researching into doing volunteer work abroad after my degree to help teach children in Africa.
