Christmas Workshop Hosted For Nevis Children
A CHRISTMAS WORKSHOP FOR THE CHILDREN OF NEVIS ISLAND!
All thanks to Nevis Public Library
Ohhhh, there’s nothing like the Holiday season! Hearts are filled with joy and giving is seen worldwide. Those celebrating a Caribbean Christmas are spreading the love as well.
Monday, December 15, 2008 was the commencement of a three-day art and craft workshop for children aged eight to 10. It was facilitated by the Nevis Library.
The Librarian at the Nevis Public Library, Lornette Hanley, spoke of the purpose of the workshop. SUN St. Kitts & Nevis News reported on the topic:
“The idea of the Christmas Craft Workshop is one to occupy the children around this time, for just a few days, and also for the children to learn some skills; how to be creative, make their own decorations,” Hanley said.
In speaking about the decorations, she told of some of the inexpensive materials being used to make crafts.
“We’re using egg crates to do little bells; we’re using construction paper to do boots. We also are using scraps of string so that we can hang stuff with. We are using used old cardboards to make some trees and strip up bits of papers. We are making angels,” she said.
According to Hanley, a focus group of eight to 10 year olds was specifically chosen because of the nature of the crafts to be made.
“For the eight to 10, some of them might be able to use the scissors properly.
“We would not have so much mess to begin with also, for some of the things we are doing, for instance angels, they have to trace them and then they have to cut them out so we catered for the older set who can manage or handle some of the craft on their own as we supervise, so that’s the main reason,” she said.
Now that the crafting workshop is over, the students of Nevis West Indies will display their creations in an exhibition and be treated to a party!!! 
What a great holiday endeavor for the Nevis Youth.
Considerably, most of us do not have much money to afford an Amazing Nevis Vacation at present time…. BUT…
