Saffron Gurney of Serious Play and her family had a fabulous trip to the Pacific coast of Nicaragua during the spring break. They stayed at a remote northern fishing village and spent some time at a nearby orphanage. The 30 children ranged in age from six to 16. She took a suitcase full of paint, canvases, brushes and painted with them for about three hours. Some had never handled paint before while others were highly skilled. The Bowen family also took toothbrushes, pencils, toys and clothes to leave with the children.
