2012, Here We Go

2012-02-08T16:45:32Z

I arrived in Hyderabad with what seemed like a cold, but I think it is just a case of pollution overload from waiting in the New Delhi airport for five hours for my next connection to Hyderabad. It was smoggy inside the airport and I instantly had asthma like symptoms. …Anyway, I arrived in Hyderabad and went shopping for art supplies, then headed out the next day to the orphanage. Before coming to India, I was able to get a projector and some Bose speakers to go along with it from the calendar sales, and they are in use almost every day for classroom and of course movie time. But first order of business is showing the kids the calendar that was put together of the photos we worked on last year in Photoshop. Much excitement about this!

Then a look around at the grounds. New gardens since last year.

Bringel---eggplant

tomatoesand this is the outdoor cooking area. We are going to build an earthen tandoor oven out here. David stirs the pot...

Girls have taken over cooking meals

The afternoon I arrived we started out with Kung Fu Panda. I also have a slew of nature videos that they have been liking a lot , I haven’t seen them yet either and it is quite amazing footage, and projected on the wall it’s like traveling to the arctic tundra to visit a polar bear family just waking up and then on to a bat cave in Burma. It’s all happening in our little village in Chandrakal.

The next day was Republic Day, which means dress up and go across the street to the hospital clinic for a short ceremony hoisting the Indian flag, tribute to Ghandi, some sweet treats, then back home for some cake.

Leela is the newest addition to the family. She’s come just in time for shoe distribution day,

The girls try them out for size.

Ok , we shall start out with very important matters here....little kids drawing class, learning to draw a turtle and mix some colors.

and the results:

The ol' turtle with a flower in it's mouth

So , this year I'm having the older kids drawing class do portrait painting. First class we practice just drawing noses , eyes and mouth and some perspective on faces. Then, we jump right in and have grandma pose for us. Why not, the best learning is to just do it, and the results are pretty amazing. Makes me like painting all over again!

Firts, we tell grandma who is out sunning herself that she is our model for class. We give her a minute to get ready.

ok, Grandma is in place, and sketching ensues before the paint...Ravi starts out pretty good.

Anil is ready to paint..

Adivya observes grandmas eyes looking sideways...

Renuka observes a round face...

Vishnu starts in with the paint...

Dinakar is sitting practically under grandma, so is observing some unflattering neck angle...

and the results are in:

Adivya's with the sideways looking eyes:

Mareshwari's

Vishnu's grandma is looking a little slight of figure...

David's grandma:

Mine looks a little E.T.ish...and I'm the art teacher?!

Dasu's

Samuel's catches grandma's expression

Renuka's

Christu has a touch of Picasso...

Ramsudheer's

Vinod's

Anil's

Ahswini's

and remember Ravi? I think he hasn't worked with watercolors much...he's laying the paint on a bit thick...

Grandma was a good sport.

Well, I'm closing up shop here in the computer lab, everyone else is in bed I think. My day today was like thisL: 6:30am yoga class, breakfast, then taught english class...here's today's vocabulary list:

after english class, lunch, then minibreak, then set up and showed a nature video, then paper maché class for older kids, dinner, blogging, bed...
Many plans in the works. We are taking 4 kids to a training to learn how to grow spirulina so that we can grow it here at the orphanage. It will be a great nutritional boost and also spirulina has been found to have HIV inhibiting factors. Let's go already!!!

much more to post, but bye bye for now.

Lion attack!

2011-02-02T16:09:00Z

It happened suddenly in the afternoon while we were busy learning Photoshop…

Ok, the lion was paper mache; Ahkil made him with his own hands and was an accomplice in this photo shoot and trickery.
This is January's photo in the calendar where each month depicts the outcomes of our Photoshop class. 2012 Calendars are available here:http://www.bethanyjean.com/calendars, an auspicious year, where the kids are rapidly getting tech savvy in the computer lab with their newly donated 10 computers from the Gates Foundation, a new world. Proceeds from calendar sales will go towards more art supplies for the kids , classes like Advertising Awareness, how to use the internet for research, Journalism, basic movie editing, more photoshop, and learning to grow spirulina.OUr equipment wants are: a projector, speakers, Imac, portable hardrives. Tax deductible equipment donations are possible, email me at: bjf@bethanyjean.com

The laboratory:

Here we are working on a photo together, the image is projected on the wall and the kids look at what I am doing as I give directions. It works really well teaching this way and since we are repeating the process over for each photo, they catch on and start working on the next thing by themselves.

Projection on the wall:

The technicians:

Ok, Here's another one , David escapes on a motorcycle with his rabbit..

This year’s chapter starts by scrolling below to the segment called Scarface in India, then move upward to the next chapter called Arrival and Sandpainting. Then read here if you want to go in sequence. Such is the blog form. To learn more about this orphanage for HIV+ children, go to this website, Living India

Or check out 2010 for my trip last year. Or leave a comment/question on this blog and I will try to answer.

We finally got to the part of painting and decorating the paper mache animals probably the favorite part for the kids. The animals were painted then some glitter and glam added, sparkly whiskers and noses, fancy designs. Then we went out for photo shoots. Finally the lcd projector arrived that we were able to borrow and I revealed my plan. We did photo shoots of each animal in a scene, and then each girl and boy posing in a certain way that would interact with that animal when we cut and pasted in Photoshop. This was particularly fun to show. Up until then the kids may have thought it very odd that I had them posing against a blank white wall (makes it easier to outline, cut and copy in Photoshop). It’s like magic-suddenly a lion has his paw on you about to take a bite.

How cute is this horse?!! please leave comments

David with his red rabbit

Roja and Rani dress up the donkey.

Ahkil with his lion beast.

Then we go outside, to the banyan tree!

The rabbits

And now for a story interlude,

A side note for a side project I’d planned. … I was successful in smuggling kefir all the way to the orphanage. Kefir grains that came from somewhere close to this part of the world, who made there way to the Hamptons, where I received them and nourished them back home in Astoria, Queens until the smuggling operation to India. Kefir is a living thingie that comes in the form of what looks like mini cauliflowers called kefir grains. They like to eat milk and form a curd, which is the part you would eat and get the benefits of powerful intestinal flora that boosts your immune system. I wanted this for the kids. When I arrived at the orphanage, we set the grains up with some fresh milk to eat.

At the orphanage they already make their own curds of yogurt, which is great, but about a tenth of the power of kefir. Also about a tenth of the taste…which is more fortunate for the yogurt and the kids. Kefir can take a bit of getting used to, so there was no guarantee anyway that the kids would actually eat this. Unfortunately, someone was in the kitchen and came across the kefir grains in the milk and thought it was yogurt gone bad. Kefir is also a little more dramatic looking when it forms its curd. The kefir was promptly taken to the garbage/somewhat compost bin where the giant crows are waiting to pick. So, the crows have just built their immune systems and will have great longevity for picking through the garbage of the future cancer free, etc.

Ah well!

and now for a yoga class interlude. Everyday at 6:30, we woke ourselves up with yoga/movement class. Vishnu was the most thorough and showed enthusiasm, so by the end I was having him lead part of class. Hopefully he continues this. Also of special note, Vamsi came to class everyday to sit and watch. He had broken his arm in two places while flipping on his bed a month ago and just had his arm taken out of the cast . He still had it curled up in a sling made of rope. Outside of class he got some massages and encouragement to move it and stretch, so by last class I had him warm up with us and do head rolls, shoulder rolls, hip stretch, and then for a big surprise he put his arms up for tree pose. I hope he does that at his next doctor visit. The pictures were taken by Bev, who was visiting from the states and working with the smaller children. It wasn't snowing inside, just a dirty lense.

Lotus is easy- for them

Some Up Dog

Crow pose

Vishnu starts to-lead

Then he goes it alone

One more thing. We had painting classes, yes. Then planned for the wall we would paint. We decided on a mountainous nighttime scene(to compliment the sunrise mural) with a river and various creatures. Once started, it went fast. What do you think?

The day I left was Republic day, everyone dressed up fancy and they put me in a sari. Here's me and Grandma

The Chandrakal Gang

And here's the Drawing Class in there best:

The Artists:

Arrival and Sandpainting

2011-01-28T16:35:00Z

The drive was quick, Solomon my driver makes no stops. I have lunch with the kids , and instead of jumping in and having a class, Roja, Anitha, Rani, Sushmitha and Aswini show me sandpainting.
First, Roja gets some white ash to map out the design

Vishnu's painting.

then out to jump rope!!!!

There's Double Dutch and......Triple Indian?

ok gotta go, very busy days here...

Another Day

Hey, let's paper mache!

I asked the kids to pick an animal to make. We got 6 rabbits, an elephant, a lion, a giraffe, a horse, a donkey, a chimpanzee and a monkey. Not too shabby. I'm not sure why the rabbit was so popular. When we were outside in the back yard, we came upon the rabbit den and a rabbit shot out. The boys chased it and also began smashing the den. I told them they were naughty and they laughed exuberantly. Vishnu , who actually did not partake in this, explained that the rabbit is a lowly creature in India. Hmmmmm. Anyway, her we go with the paper mache, the quiet hum of busy hands, and Madam Madam Madam Madam Madam for when help is needed making an animal body or giraffe head, or horse back legs...

Helping Vishnu with his horse (above)Vishnu almost lost his pinky finger to a scissors accident while madam teacher was cutting a horse leg shorter.Close call.

The chimp is sent outside to dry (below)

and the giraffe is sent outside to dry..

and so on

ok, let's put these down for now and have giraffe painting class.

why not!

feel free to leave comments.

Next Day

time for a base coat.

Anil's elephant set in a tree to dry

Ashwini waiting for her rabbit to dry

and time to paint them

Scarface 2011

2011-01-13T20:49:00Z

Well, starting off a new year by returning to India.....what will we do this year? For starters, I arrived in Hyderabad at 4:35 am this morning. I got to the hotel in Hyderabad, was washing my face when my door buzzer buzzed and there must have been a blindspot right where that bathroom door was open to , because I smacked into it and it had a sharp edge. Really, the picture just does not show what it looked like at first, because of course it cut across the bone and swelled up and was a bleeder . My contact here, Leela, was sending an ambulance for me at first, but I convinced her not to do that. I did end up going to the hospital up the street. By the time the doctor got to me (after I had been icing it and holding it shut) it looked like it was gluing up ok. I had thought I might need a couple stitches just to hold it. Anyhoo, looks like I'll live if I can manage to keep my distance from sharp doors.
I'll be off to the orphanage tomorrow in the morning. They don't have sharp doors, I'll be safe there.

....and a little later, the black eye is starting to form...

The housecleaning team at the Golkonda sent up some roses and a fruitplate and checked on me every hour . It was kind of funny because I was trying to sleep and the doorbell kept ringing. Everybody in the workstaff seems to know the woman who bumped her head in 502 . Over night I actually put the do not disturb sign, but i can hear people coming up to the door to check every so often. No low profile accident here. Thank goodness an ambulance didn't come to take the ridiculous westerner to the hospital half a block up the street. Phew.

Ah well, I see the kids tomorrow

And last, the Mural at Chandrakal

2010-03-13T14:55:00Z

We got up at 6am to start painting because once the sun comes up and reaches over the roof of the front building, forget it! too hot.

finishing touches

and one last thing before I go, Anitha puts henna in my hair, Roja takes picture.

aches over the roof to the wall, we're done for. Tooo hot.

Mask Making with the older kids... chaos with the younger kids

2010-03-13T14:31:00Z

First there was a class with the older kids to make masks, then a couple days later we had 10 women from Hyderabad and the older kids to help the almost 40 younger ones with the paper maché.. There were more younger ones than I even realized so I had only prepped for 30 masks...so there was some scurry in the beginning to get everyone their materials.
Here's from the first class:

masks drying

Santosh jumped in to the first class, he doesn't like chaos with the younger kids...plus his buddy Vishnu was there.

the boys

the girls

Post Chaos

Then the decorating part, easy .

A trip to Ghandi Hospital and back, Reflexology class and yoga

2010-03-13T14:30:00Z

5:30 am we are off to Ghandi hospital with a bus load of kids for their checkups. A two hour ride on mostly a dirt road, speeding through bumps, bypassing bicycles, villages, cows....there is a rather large barf bucket on board that gets some use.....not a fun trip.But the government is now providing free meds for them, a very big deal.

This is on the way back, a very long day and we are making stops for groceries. This was the last stop before home. We are waiting at the side of the road while the driver is picking up supplies.

Sylvia, the house mother, sitting by the bus door.
The center of town starts to crowd up with cows and waterbuffalo....

I could have touched this one passing by my window

Then, on another day we take it easy and relax with a reflexology class

Sky Painting

2010-03-13T14:14:00Z

So, one class we practiced painting the sky in different moods. Here are some sunrises with the Banyan tree and then also monsoon season with the Banyan tree. I think they are great.

sunset soufflé

Here we go, landscape painting classs

2010-03-08T16:39:00Z

How about some sky....

Santosh observes class

Chasing me with their landscapes.

To Chandrakal

2010-03-08T04:26:00Z

Sad goodbyes at Prem Kiran, but I will have to go back, and with some new art itinerary.... just need to figure out some logistics .
So, on to Hyderabad after spending a night in Mumbai at Umale's . I got to spend an afternoon with Vanitha and Moni, who drove me there and had lunch at Leonardo's nearby the Taj Mahal. That was fun to just have some visiting/hangout time.
In Hyderabad I met up with Joseph and Machelle and had a day to go around with them, pick up new art supplies for the kids at the Chandrakal orphanage for kids infected with HIV and go to Golkonda, an old muslim fort .
If you would like to learn more about the orphanage, the website is: Living India
Machelle and Joseph are co-founders, and Living India is a non profit 501c.
They are working hard to raise money for school supplies, green energy so they can be more self sufficient, etc. and etc. There is a donation button on their website.
Also, if anyone at their business has an lcd projector they don't need, we would put it to good use to project movies & educational programs. It's a long rainy season. And lastly, I will be looking for grants for myself to get me back there next year to do more projects!

At the top of this Muslim fortress there is a Hindu temple built now, Joseph called this 'poking the bear'.

Hyderabad is growing fast with new Microsoft and Google headquarters. High tech and low tech city.

Driving out to Chandrakal...

the orphanage .

....first class, making their names so I can remember:

Madam teacher ...

The Indian government has come out to visit to see what they do because the kids are doing well. They get free meds now from a government agency, a big relief. There is a hospital/clinic across the street . A few years back there was a handful of children that just started living in the hallway because they lost their parents to AIDS. That is when some action and fundraising happened to build the orphanage, and now there are 57 kids there. HIV education is difficult in the villages.There have been songs made for people that don't read (there are tribal peoples in the surrounding villages, many languages) , but the virus concept sometimes just does not compute so well. the orphanage also has more boys than girls because girls are more often kept to do housework by relatives.

Before leaving Prem Kiran

2010-03-07T17:11:00Z

They fed me with the traditional banana leaf style-papdom, greens, plaintain , chapati, curry cauliflower. Jeba feeds me and what is missing from this picture is the pile of raw carrot, beets, turnip and cucumber that comes with every meal. They know i am veg, and I appreciate it. Most of there meals are vegetarian, but it is nice to eat some raw food-
And in case you are wondering, I haven't gotten sick the whole time, except carsick on the ride out from Mumbai the first day. There's a lot of start and stop driving , those water buffalo really don't care about getting out of the way on your clock. And then there's the guy who just stops his car in the highway lane to get out and pee on the side of the road. And coming back to Hyderabad last night, there was a roundabout that connected to another roundabout and an unfinished part of the highway that turned into a makeshift one lane dirt ramp onto another highway.
well anyway, I ate well and all is well in that department.

They also dressed me in a sari:

The balloon scavengers..

To the Mountain

2010-03-07T16:57:00Z

After all the mural work, we had a day to go for a hike to the mountain. It was a hike into the hot afternoon as well.... 3 km to the end we all broke down in the shade and got rides back.

girls line up to go

it started out well

We came upon a hindu temple

it had this statue... a rock god?

We go to the water.
Kathy, Balla, and Neha check the parameters.

Well, we lasted a little while longer after leaving the water, but not much longer. We got rides back with 3km still to go.

The making of the Mural at Prem Kiran

2010-03-07T16:44:00Z

This was a feat, and I'm happy to report , no one was hurt in the making of this mural. I was a little worried with Santosh scaling the wall to paint the sky, but all went well.

And that is that

Word from India

2010-02-28T15:35:00Z

This is something I wrote over a week ago, but couldn't post....don't have time for pictures yet, more later!

So, I have no internet access here at theTransformation Center, but I have been here for four days –ish. I arrived in Mumbai on the 9^th and stayed one night at the Grand Central Hotel where I met up with Rabbi Joseph. It was a fine landing spot. We we repicked up by Umale, who is one of the founders of the Transformation Center and we went downtown to pick up art supplies for the workshops I would be leading.

Ok, driving in Mumbai is an experience you may want to see for yourself. Beeping is how you get by, literally, the trucks have signs painted on them that say Horn OK Please. They want you to honk if you are coming up behind them. Beeping is a way for people to know where you are , so speak up. Beeping at people oktoo. And cows. We drove through a sea of people in the downtown where we wentto a wholesale shop for paints , etc. Just tell the guy in the shop what you want and it appears from one of the shop workers, or from a hand coming through a hole in the ceiling from the upstairs supply room.

Next, to the party shop across the street for balloons, glitter, shiny things, ribbon for decorating the paper mache masks we will make.

Back at the hotel, it is cocktail hour, so we go and chat. Then dinner, a special Chinese New Year menu. Rabbi gets the grouper fish. I am suspicious that this is the same type of fish I saw in the Chao Phray River in Bangkok,,,..they were enormous in the Chao Phray, big mouths. And not so appetizing I have to admit, swimming in that city river…. I had a bite, not bad, but Rabbi went to it.

Anyhoo, next morning it was off to the center, a couple hours drive outside of Mumbai. We get there and are served chai tea or coffee, walk around to see the boys dorm, the girls dorm,the womens’ place , the big church center, the grounds and where I will be staying as well, a house down the street that is being lent by an ‘Aunty’ while she is away. BTW, as soon as the car arrived in the center , the children are all vying to greet me, touch me , catch my eye and smile. They know Joseph so are saying hellos, and Shalom,which he taught them last time he was there.

Rabbi has to get back to Mumbai for his flight, and I end up going too so I can stay one night with Umale’s family. I didn't pack much clothes so I wanted to go to some shops for some Kirtans so I can fit in a little bit stylewise. Umale’s daughter Priya is nice enough to bring me around to some shops.Btw, on the way back to Mumbai I was carsick , the stop and go and airconditioning and being in the back seat got me. So at night I am feeling a little shaky, but nothing serious.

Next day we go back to the center and basically jump right in . The kids are gathered in the main building, we talk about what we will be doing , and I mention I want to learn Indian dancing , which the girls were very excited about. Then I am asked to teach them a game. The only thing I can think of that is easy enough on the spot is Duck Duck Goose, which goes over really well except that I am the goose every other round…..

But pretty funny , the kids are really excited. Afterwards we broke into some dance moves, one girl, Pooja , has got the pop and lock moves and mixed with Indian bollywood style, some very good dancers. They are showing me some new moves. Boys too.

Next day we begin the mask making. All the materials are not gathered yet….still the cardboard is missing, which is too bad because it would have been much better to have it prepared, but oh well, going with the slow flow at first. The cardboard is collected from boxes around the center and cut into the basic mask shape. I show how to build the underlying structure and let them go to it. Pictures show better.

The fun part of doing the classes is that they really pay attention and then, when you say go, they start making the thing and it is like a quiet buzzing of busy hands. Other times it is 'Oh Dee Dee, oh Dee Dee' (they are calling me sister).

I am fed on a regular schedule, they know I am mostly vegetarian, so every meal I am served a plate of sliced cucumber,beets, radish and carrot, along with chapatti, dal and some other cooked veggie dish. I don’t even eat this much raw veggies at home, but it is nice. Also, the Indian diet tends to be a bit starchy, so the roughage is a good thing. ….but funny to eat a pile of rabbit food for breakfast lunch and dinner.

In general I am served up more food than I am used to eating and the refills just keep coming.

Vanitha is a staff member assigned to be my manager and translater, she also stays with me in the house down the street.She is very smart and funny and the rolling of eyes and Indian head shaking is quite amusing. I had to ask Rabbi about the head shaking , because it often looks like they are annoyed , but it is not so much that , it is sort of just happenimg for many different expressions.

I live a couple hundred yards from the center, yet I am chauffeured each time I go back and forth, and everytime it is a production, the driver, the guy who guards the house , grandpa who helps with the keys who often carries the grand baby all crammed into the front, then me , Vanitha, and Priya or some conglomeration of helpers in the house piling in and out of the back seat. The locks on the front gate , the front door and the inside door all have keys that look like cartoon keys. One night we were given the wrong keys and the driver and co. had to come back, I think that is when grandpa started coming on these trips to make sure the locking and unlockings went smoothly. Baby just comes for the ride. In the morning , sometimes we walk to the center, like this morning, Vanita was tired of waiting for the chauffer service so we walked. We were just arriving at the center when the car came up to us and the door opened for me to get in so the could take me the last fifty feet,like they wanted to at least make the grand entrance with me in the car. But I didn’t get in I waved them off, and besides, they had to go down the road a way to turn around. We often share this road with the water buffalo , who really don’t care what you do, and don’t necessarily move when beeped at.

This weekend was nonstop, and by the end of the days, I am ready to crash, there’s painting class , paper mache mask–making class, foot reflexology class, drawing class. We had ten more children just visiting this weekend. They really jumped right in for the mask making. We also did a landscape painting class. I felt like that guy that does the oil painting on tv., Now,make a nice blue sky with some friendly puffy clouds….Then horizon line, treeline, fade it down, make a little river that flows to the foreground where it makes a lake that has lilies on it, a duck, some fish, a butterfly, and a water buffalo!

These kids are all children of sex trade workers. Some of the women are at the center too because they can learn new skills to get them other work and get out of the sex trade life and we are in the country side away from the pimps. It’s complicated with the caste system/beliefs . The children are living here now and going to school and having a schedule. It is very important especially for the girls who would otherwise be destined for the same life. It is a pretty amazing place, so I don’t really get exhausted. When taking pictures, once the camera is out everyone is trying to jump into the frame. I’ve tried taking some candid shots,but there’s usually some little face poking into the shot, or literally flying in to get in the picture.

Ok, signing off.

WAIT here's some pictures. It took me an hour to load them and then it crashed so

this is it for awhile.....

Wish you all were here to join me...It is summer weather here, although I've been told this is just the very beginning of the hot season, so pretty nice, not overwhelming. I can't write on my blog here in Thailand , it is blocked by security, my web hosters said there is no problem on their end, hopefully it will be ok in India .Soooo, here I am already five full days, getting massages, taking river taxis, sky train, all kinds of markets, took a cooking class. .I went to an art opening last night , I didn't know there was an opening , i just happened to go to the Art Gorillas gallery at the right time. It seemed like a bunch of friends putting on a group show with a band playing. They were all very friendly and excited that a random person came to their show. They had me sign their guestbook, , and by the looks of that, I was the only guest. I wish I spoke more Thai. Oh well, it was a nice vibe, and funny conglomeration of work.Maybe my last day I go on a bike trip for the day outside the city.Ok, it is past midnight here, although I am jacked on Thai ice tea, I am going to try to go to sleep.

2010-02-03T04:54:33Z

I arrived in Bangkok just fine, although 1am. My room is sweet on the
top floor of a guesthouse , which is good because Bangkok can have a
sewage type smell sometimes and being up top somehow avoids that.
Anyway, I'm off to explore. Don't want to be too much of a geek on my
tech gadgets...
