Volta Deaf Students Create Batik Stamps

The capacity to make beautiful wooden batik stamps has been built, and now the students have begun making these stamps to order for a number of interested customers. A big thanks goes out to Henning Lemcke, a German volunteer who came to the school for a visit and demonstrated the technique to myself and some of the carpenters in the Vocational Department.

In the following video, one of the vocational carpenters Richard, uses a fret saw to carve one of 37 stamps commissioned by a fellow Peace Corps Volunteer Emily Kernen. The batik stamps depict various yoga poses and turned out beautifully. The stamps have excited a number of prospective future customers, as Richard has now perfected making these stamps and is now taking custom orders.

  1. Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions? Many thanks

  2. hey :) what theme do you think you’re working with for this one in particular? (this exact web site) I kinda enjoy this and I used to be pondering if this really is out there.

  3. Today, considering the fast life-style that everyone is having, credit cards have a huge demand throughout the market. Persons coming from every discipline are using the credit card and people who not using the credit card have arranged to apply for one in particular. Thanks for discussing your ideas in credit cards.
