It doesn't grow on trees
I spent most of today completing a 67 question application form for a funding grant from a Foundation for the forthcoming EBT art workshop in Kathmandu (see the fundraising link at the bottom of the page). Each question seemed to beg a very considered answer and I am now very square eyed, hence this brief post. By contrast it's so nice when donations come in from members of the general public with a nice little greeting and nothing else. To them I dedicate this mosaic of an elephant, completed by Rina, aged 16, one of 29 Nepalese kids we rescued from an Indian circus in April 2004.
