Kids in Tasiilaq - You gotta love 'em!

As you may or may not know, I spent 3 weeks in Tasiilaq, East Greenland, with my good friends Ben and Omeed. We spent our time with the Bahá'í community there and we volunteered at a free daycare Red Barnet. At Red Barnet we met many kids, they were loving and kind, Ben and Omeed managed to have a great time dispite the language barrier.

One day we each recieved somewhere between 10 and 15 small drawings as gifts from the children and we tried to give the children a few drawings in return.

The pictures should give you a small glimpse of the children in Greenland - enjoy!



You gotta love the kids!
