The Elyria Arts Council took part in a Mission Trip that local friends made to an impovrished town in The Domincan Republic. We were asked to provide a simple craft project to do with kids, while they and their families waited to be seen at a medical clinic. We sent along a colorful array of beads and materials to make bracelets and mini wire sculptures. The photos here show the Medical clinic, a home, kids making bracelets, and an outdoor classroom. We were honored to be asked to participate in a small way and happy to see that the project sent was a hit!
