Walk of Hope Update : All work, and no play?
On the contrary, we at @walkofhope are amazed each day as Marlon keeps sending our group chat images of what he is doing. It seems that teaching 45 kids, well whatever number he gets each day, in total each week is not enough!
On the 3rd week now of our Music and Arts Tour FREE workshop sessions, he still have all the strenght to still work on Tatay Dagsa's ARTSPACE. Just 3 days more of 9-12 lessons and am telling you, it's not EASY PEASY.
But perhaps leaving a workaholic artist in a NORMAL ENVIRONMENT is exactly where he thrives?

For those who are not in the know, Tatay Dagsa/Filcon Rivera is a creative in Bayawan City who will be joining @flabbergast in the Music and Arts Tour. Aside from this ongoing workshop, a DALI Dagsa artists' gallery is being created. Once this is done, they will then continue the tour from Bacolod City.
This gallery will showcase the bamboo innovations that Marlon have been teaching the locals, also for the tourism industry. With this, any wandering artist is welcome to stay in DALI Dagsa in Bayawan where it's a 2-hour journey from Dumaguete City. As it's beside the sea, some curious tourists have found the place.

I can take orders for them, but sending them worldwide is a hassle. Will need to buy a submarine with my steem. 🤣😂😁

Anyone want to guess on what this is?
Jamming with another creative! Marlon and Tatay Dagsa have known each other for long. It can't be helped that wherever they are, friends will visit them. And when they gather, they can rock the world.

This workshop ends on Wednesday and a program for the kids will follow, the date still to be advised. With the Department of Education's participation, certificates of completion will be given. Bamboo trophies will be given from our side.
I got no clue on what they would look like so let's wait for Marlon to surprise us.

Certainly, he is an artist with Bamboo! And Dagsa is a cozy place, I would love to share an evening there, with live music.
Yeah, it does makes one wanna jam with them,isn't it? Add a couple of organic coconut cider!
Bamboo is one of God's beautiful creations. So many things can come out of this very flexible tree. We just need to be creative.Nice sharing.
Thank you, Bayawan is rich of bamboos so it's one of their livelihood.
Wow. Nearly over @imarojas. Can't wait to see the pics of all the kids getting their certificates.
Any chance of seeing a map showing where they've been? not sure how techy you are. It's not something I could do but I thought I ask anyway. 😍
I asked Mr. Google Gillian😂🤣
Oh I must have misunderstood @immarojas. I thought they were touring around a number of different places rather than just the one! 😁
Interesting to see a map of the Philippines anyway. Thank you! 😍
That was the plan but they're not finished with the art gallery, among other stuff. Once that's done, then they will go to Bacolod City then to the other islands.
Ah I see. Thanks for the explanation! 😁
Anytime Gillian☺
Amazing looking project and so creative I love it great work.
