The NAHS club completed 25 portraits of children from orphanages in Myanmar, Kenya, and Uganda last month. Each club member chose a photo of an orphan and the art medium of their choice to render their portrait. Patrons and friends from the Taubman Museum of Art helped to fund this activity through their generous monetary donations. A feature article with lots of photos about the CSHS NAHS chapter can be viewed on the swo-co.com website, and in the Roanoke Times “SWo-CO” publication. Our club has participated in this activity for the last 5 years, creating portraits of orphans from Guatemala, India, Mexico, and Honduras.
