Apologies for the long silence - it has been a very busy fortnight.
A large part of what I've been up to is murals. Murals, murals, murals. We are working on some murals designed by a local artist that are part of a larger project and some that I have composed out of designs drawn by local children and our volunteers.
We have finished three murals ourselves so far and have another two to complete. Picture time!
Our first muralito (mini mural) in Rancho Grande:
This muralito is on the side of the house of one of the farmer's that we work with.
Catatao's mural, based on the design of the local artist (now finished with our own message and twist!):
Another one based on the artist's designs:
I can't upload a picture of our other, incomplete mural, so you'll just have to wait! It's gonna be a good one!
The other reason that we have been busy is that we have had our mid-term evaluation. This involves staff from Progressio (including Lucy from London!) and Red COMAL visiting us at our project and a day of evaluation that includes a presentation from us volunteers on our progress so far. The continuation of the project partially depends on the success of this evaluation, so it's a big deal. It went brilliantly, because we have a brilliant team, so happy faces all round!
Ciao for now!
