Travelling
Tonight I start my trip to Ethiopia. I am part of a group helping Ethiopian project managers to help the very poorest communities to overcome poverty through self sufficency and on their own terms. Our programme is based on the principles of self-organised learning and systems thinking. We don't aim to tell people "what to do" but rather to introduce them to a methodology by which they can be more successful at what "they" want to do. I'll be back in UK on 5th September so there will be no posting (and no painting - or at least no "on canvas" painting till then - I often continue to paint "in my head" when I don't have chance to paint directly.)
Be seeing you, as we used to say over here.

Hope the trip goes well. Sounds very worthwhile.
Hi Sheila,
The work you're doing sounds wonderful and I imagine it will also
produce many paintings in your head. The portrait of you with the blue scarf you love is beautiful. It's wonderful how your feeling for the fabric and look of the scarf comes through.
Take care,
Barbara
I am very impressed with your work and your sense of humanity...wonderful that you are going so far to help others and doing it in a way that is respectful of their needs, culture, and intelligence. I bet you come back with some wonderful painting ideas. Have a wonderful trip.
Have a great trip Sheila. Your such an inspiration.
Such good and meaningful work, thank you for giving of yourself. Best wishes and safe travel.
Hope all goes well for you.
Safe travels. This sounds very impressive.
