Overview
After hearing about the ASHA charity and how they support children in the slums of India the Children of Danemill thought there would be no one better to look to for inspiration in looking for beauty and hope through our elephants journey. The Student Well-being Ambassadors wrote a letter to the children ASHA support and asked them what images and art bring them joy. We had some beautiful images sent back to us and children from our breakfast club set about getting designs painted on to our Elephant.
