Thanks to GYD small grants, I was able to start a vocational program at State School for the Deaf, Batik! The past term has been filled with many experiments, a few mistakes, and a lot of learning. Students from Primary 6; JHS 1, 2, and 3 have been coming in two days each week to learn about and practice the batik making process.
Currently they are trying their hand at stamp making, learning different ways to apply the wax design, and how to mix chemicals for the dying process. You may have seen or purchased some of our design at the All Volunteer Conference in Bunso. Our next batch is promised to the staff here at State Deaf, but you should feel free to call me with personal orders or ideas for a new design.
We also welcome visitors to the campus to watch the process and design some of their own batik. Thanks again to GYD for helping make this possible with the small fund grant you donated to my school. We are having a blast and learning a ton!
