Utilising throw away stuff for art and learning

For a decade 2007 till date I have been pondering the way we go with wastes, things we no longer need that end up in very close to home landfills and infest us with diseases unknown. Creating art seem to be one of the things I have always thought about. Below are photos of me working with the kids and some of the Art I created made with them:

 

WELCOME BACK ... Fresh foods, fresh foods and more fresh foods.

Welcome back, its been a while, a long while indeed, however, Sculpted Basket is back and will strive to serve you better information and news from the University campus, from around town and from the whole world.

It has been a while, a long while indeed. But I'm happy SBP is back online and going to be running blogging. October is here and the year is almost coming to an end, you can be sure of loads and loads of news from the University Campus, from around Nsukka town, Ukehe, Enugu and the world over and it is out 10th year anniversary at SBP and activities are loading.

Today however I just want to welcome you all wonderful followers (supporters, enthusiasts, readers) back and maybe share some of my most recent salad exploits. I hope you find them interesting. You can always ask for the recipe.

Amidst the many challenges facing the world, news of wars and drums of war, floods, Harvey, Irma etc, the unreported floods in our Nigerian cities,  land and mud slides in Africa, we all daily face a uniform challenge of feeding appropriately. One agreed good food seems to be the one made up of fresh uncooked food which is  available as salads, acclaimed to bring and restore health as God commanded in Genesis 2.
I sever you a variety of my salads to inspire your own cooking and you can ask for recipes.

Sweet Corn, carrot and Egg salad
