Relief sculpture

I popped into the Arts Rehabilitation Centre this afternoon to see how our volunteer sculptor, Rebecca Hawkins, was getting along. I had always thought of sculpture in terms of figurative items, statues and busts. But there's also relief sculpture and for the first time in Nepal it's being taught to (very enthusiastic) students. And more exciting is that the students are all trafficking victims, girls that we have rescued from the Indian circuses.

I am so proud of the quality of our work and that includes a huge admiration for students and tutors alike.
