12 students who actively participated in AGYA Volunteer, Ben Rothschild's art class were rewarded with a free field trip to Jinja, the source of the River Nile, the world's longest river. While tourists frequent the site, for many of the students, the trip to Jinja was their first time to see the beauty of the River Nile. Students expressed gratitude for being given the chance to see the natural beauty that exists in their country.
During the day-long field trip, students were provided with a nutritious lunch and breakfast. They put into practice the skills they had acquired and developed over the course of Rothschild's 4-week workshops, and completed some beautiful, breathtaking still life and landscape drawings. See below for pictures chronicling this amazing opportunity that was given to 12 special, standout art students!
