The Mural

Last weekend we painted a mural on a blank wall outside the Peace Corps office.  It was so exciting to watch the wall gradually become more and more colorful.  It turned out beautifully!  The project was a collaboration between a current volunteer, Colleen, her Mozambican counterpart, Sam, and a trainee from our group, Tania. Sam designed all the images by hand and Tania, came up with the overall design.  The three of them worked incredibly hard to get the mural done in just over 2 days.  The rest of us came for two hours at a time, but they were there the entire weekend.  It is thanks to them that we now have such a beautiful memento of our training class that will be there for future classes to enjoy.

Getting there...

My biggest contribution was painting the blue skirt of the woman with the hoe.

The final product!
