Two talented young women are bringing art to the Happy House.
Missy McKee, founder of the Flourish Foundation, and Lotte van Kouwen have travelled out to Watamu to spend a week working with our kids on creating murals on our inner atrium.Missy,a New Zealander, who is living in London and studying for an MA in art psychotherapy set up Flourish Foundation to help raise awareness of the important role of art and art therapy play in the healing process, and with the aim of enriching the lives of kids and young adults through art.
Missy and Lotte, from Holland but also living in London, started their week getting to know our kids by encouraging them to have fun with paint and mask making.
With just a few days to complete their project of child-friendly murals, again working with our children, they are really busy and we can't wait to see the completed artworks.
Many thanks to Miss and Lotte for making art so much fun.
