This current lunar year is the year of the dog. When Goducate sponsor MHC Asia Group wanted to produce postcards as corporate gifts for its clients during the recent Chinese New Year, it asked the children at the Goducate Children’s Home in Cambodia to draw dogs.
MHC was spoilt for choice. They were offered 14 drawings by 11 artists. They chose 2.

The artists range in age from 10 to 20. The school at the Home does not offer formal art training. However, a visitor to the Home had taught the children some basic principles of drawing — eg, how to gauge size and proportions. Amazing what the children have been able to produce with that little bit of training.
