An Art workshop was organised for adolescents living with HIV by Esther Joosa, Director of the Arts of the Earth, Singapore.
The workshop brought in 20 adolescents who were able to express their emotions and healed of their hurts through art. In the exercise she asked all the participants to express their likes and dislikes through art. For most of them exploring their feelings through art was a first time experience. The most interesting part of the exercise was it helped even the silent adolescents express their feelings to their peers.
For an orphan adolescent boy, the support group of adolescents living with HIV has been his strongest like. For an orphan adolescent girl living with HIV, the art helped her to emote her suppressed pains and hurt feelings. The workshop strengthened the relationships among peers and led Buds of Christ to have a closer look at the real concerns of children born with HIV.
Esther Joosa, is a volunteer from Singapore International Foundation who came all the way from Singapore to impact the lives of adolescents living with HIV
