What "wood" you do if you possessed an extreme talent
to transform pieces of wood into fine pieces of art? If you are Martin
Ratermann, you would dedicate one weekend a month to direct your talent and
passion toward teaching Kansas City's at-risk youth the basic steps
toward learning your craft.
We have been extremely honored to have Martin's dedication
over the past few months. Take a look at what our youth have been able to
build with Martin's help:
Started this past Saturday, by four
Niles Home for Children boys,
this nightstand is on its way to
someone's bedside.
Built by reStart youth, this table is
being used to store some art supplies.
The first thing ever built by HALO
Center youth was this work bench.
This table is utilized in every
woodworking workshop.
A bench for sitting. Extra seating is
always needed in The Center...
because sometimes our chair fall
apart. Like this chair, which
had broken into six different pieces.
Martin taught HALO Center
youth how to repair broken furniture.
This chair is
now
the sturdiest seat in the house!
