"The creative activities and guidance could not have been better timed" (Facebook/Home from Home SA)
Non-profit organization, Home from Home provides permanent, family-style homes to 200 children across the Western Cape in 36 community-based foster homes. Each foster mother is employed and supported by a social worker and specialist professionals who offer tutoring and counselling.
It is within these homes that South African artist Jill Trappler decided to introduce the joy of creativity with the help of artists from the Orange Art Group.
The group of 8 artists shared their expertise with the children in various art forms from ceramics, fabric painting and collages to charcoal, cell phone photography, wax and pencil crayons.
