So Saturday is generally the only day off in the factory, and though we are nearly finishing our Spring/Summer 2012 production, this week I went to the KTM Family Fair! There is not much to do for kids in Kathmandu - not many children friendly activities or places to go, so Shirley Bredal (who produces fair trade childrens knit wear in Nepal) organised the first Family Fair!
It was great to be a part of it - preparing for the creative workshops and candy shop, as well as the different shows that went on during the day! We had a great turn out, and lots of happy kids I am sure :)
Set in the 'Garden of Dreams' which is a renovated Nepali Rana palace with beautiful gardens and architecture, in North Kathmandu....
There were creative workshops, making crowns, masks, playdough models and origami! Great to see the kids being so creative!
and cupcake decorating at the candy shop!
The sack race....
Facepainting....they had packed up before i had time to try this!
The magician show
B Boys....The Shirley Bredal and AURA QUE stalls...
And I met Winnie the Pooh and Minnie Mouse!
Lots of fun....big thanks to Shirley Bredal and Bikash Gurung for organising the event!Posted via email from AURA QUE
