Drawing, Paiting

My name is Wanphai Nongrum. I am an artist, teacher and social worker devoted to working creatively with children, adults and elders for the strengthening of community and the betterment of the civil society. I wish to continue my engagement in the child and youth development sector by offering my skills and diverse work experience to create, teach and implement programs that focus on giving free reign to the inherent potential in every young person. By working with adults, who in turn work with children, I see myself building supportive structures to allow these possibilities in young people to be nurtured over time. My area of interest lies in teaching, leading and managing transformative learning processes with young people and adults.

In my teaching journey I have seen children open up doors in themselves and look beyond their present circumstances to a path of possibilities.
