liz in All of Riverkids Project

We had a debrief yesterday at the office with the Raffles Junior College teachers regarding their 2-3 weeks service learning trip at Riverkids Foundation and creativity (especially of the Get Ready! Girls) was something that popped up.

Though the girls had great skill in doing craft work, knitting , crocheting, etc, creativity was sorely lacking. Getting them to do craft usually results in all of them making the exact same product as the other, which is good when you're practising your craft skills etc, but not very exciting. Plus, their fear of making mistakes stops them from doing things out of the box.
