FACE PAINTING ORPHANAGE TOUR OF KENYA

Julie Tattam, owner of Making Faces, spent a month in Kenya in September, face painting over 300 abandoned and orphaned children in AIDS Orphanages throughout Nairobi. She also trained the Orphanage Staff to face paint so that they could continue the fun after she left. View a small video clip of her tour here.

This tour will be repeated in 2012, funded by the sales of Julie’s new range of “Kits for a Cause” – an fun and affordable range of Do-It-Yourself Instructional Face Painting and Special Effects Kits, perfect for parents and children as a fantastic school holiday or party activity (see below for more information).
