Raising poultry is another income generation project for grannies that was started by Hillcrest AIDS Centre

Along with sewing and knitting, beadwork helps granny's generate income to support their families and also practice a traditional Zulu artform

Yebo gogo! These grannies love to sing and dance!

One of the granny support group's gardening project.

This little one was so shy and stayed close by her grandmother the whole time we were there

GIANT PUPPET PARADE!!!

About two weeks ago, TGC students took part in two workshops to help build the giant Cobra puppet that you see above. On Saturday night (February 23rd), the students were able to proudly carry their puppet through the streets of Siem Reap, along with several other NGO students. The whole event was extremely special and unlike anything I have ever seen before.

Note: The first five pictures that you see above were taken during ‘puppet preparation workshops’ and the last five pictures are from the Parade day.

For more information about the event, feel free to check out The Giant Puppet Project website: http://www.giantpuppetproject.com/.

Also, this short video (approximately one minute long) might give you a better feel for what the whole Parade looked like from a spectator’s point of view! : http://vimeo.com/60340128. I hadn’t actually seen the whole parade (as I was walking in the middle of it with the students, Ian, and Carolyn), so watching this video also allowed meeee to take everything in all at once :).

Hope you all enjoy!!
