Art Therapy In Namibia |
Creative Arts Therapists Cheryl Walpole & christi meyer volunteered at an environmental educational camp in the Namib desert, called NaDEET. They provided art therapy to the campers who range in age and economic status. We left the camp with the resources to not only enrich their culture, but with the ability to achieve self-expression through art. for further information please feel free to contact either of us at our email: cheryl@arttherapynewyorktonamibia.com arttherapynewyorktonamibia.com |
Christi and I learned how to cook bread while in Namibia. Although you may not have a solar oven, have a try at one of our favorite recipes, it’s easy!
Amish White Bread
2 loaves
2 cups warm water (110 degree)
2/3 cup white sugar or syrup
1 1/2 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegitable oil
6 cups bread flour
In large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
Mix salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
Place in a well oiled bowl and turn dough to coat.
Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise until doubled in size in about 1 hour
Punch down dough. Knead for about 10 minutes and divide in half
Shape into loaves and place into well oiled 9x5 inch loaf pans
