Making Recycled Paper at the BLC

A mini workshop on making recycled paper sponsored by AD was held in the Kuraburi Burmese Learning Center for two days in September.  The students were extremely intrigued when they saw the boxes of old paper and the bins of water.

Lindsey, our volunteer coordinator and the teacher did a fantastic job engaging and educating the children on the basics of paper making. The students shredded and soaked the papers, and rolled out the mixture to create beautiful sheets of new paper.  Their quick wit and creativity were apparent as they added flowers and colors to create cards and bookmarks!
