Tsu Chi People always on time to help!

Helping people must be on time

今晚去吃素食晚餐時正逢我們檳城慈濟人已經開始募款活動，和請我們寫下寄語給日本慈濟人。母親和我也一同捐款了。而且都寫下我們的祝福語。明天我將家裡的乾淨清潔的棉衣和被單送去檳城慈濟分會靜思堂，這些衣服和其他物品等將在近日內迅速送去日本。這是我自己最多可以做到的。希望大家也加入！

Tonight I went to have my vegetarian food in Pulau Tikuts, our Penang Tsu Chi Foundation people had started fund raising for Japan, and we get to write down notes to send our supports to the Tsu Chi Foundation volunteers in Japan. My mom and I made our donations and also wrote down our words of supports. Tomorrow I will be going to our Tsu Chi Foundation to donate my warm clothings so that they can be sent to Japan to help those who needed. This is what I can do and I hope everyone of you will join us!

My 11 years old student's acrylic painting

When a 10 years old told you that your teaching of drawing is rather boring, what would you do with this very clever and innovative kid?

My answer is then let her have the most fun of it. I gave her the most challenging painting instrument to use and challenge her talent, and let her have the fun of it with painting. This is to use acrylic painting; the result of it, is pretty remarkable. Below are some of her works.

This was Lim Hoon Wei's first class artworks in acrylic color that she submitted to her teacher when she was only 10 years old. Her teacher could not believe she did the work, and asked her many times, until finally posted this painting in the classroom display board. The title the teacher in Penang Chinese Girls' Primary School on this project was "Rain Storm", and the teacher wanted a small painting. Hoon Wei watched a photo of rain storm and did her own artworks with a minor help from me that was on the lady in the middle. The rest of the painting was entirely painted by herself with my technical guidance only.

This painting was also done when Hoon Wei was only 10 years old, she watched a oil painting book and did this acrylic painting.

This was done this year January by Hoon Wei which she watched an oil painting book to paint this acrylic painting.

This year February during Hoon Wei did this poster color painting for her school artworks with her own imagination painting.

This acrylic painting of the sea was done by Hoon Wei with a reference photo from a magazine with some alteration from the original photo including the color. She created herself, this final photo and video recording was done on March 4th, this painting is not completed yet.
