Up at 6:30 am, dressed and ready for pickup at 7:30 am. To give us more time to work, we were given a bucket of egg burritos on the van and we went direct to the school compound to begin our work day.
Ray Sykes (from England) and I began work on the mural for the Day Care Centre. Ray had chosen an animated picture from his grandson's religious studies book. It depicted animals, birds and plants.
The wall had already been painted so we decided on a blue border and marked out four - two foot blocks so we could more easily copy the design. It took most of the morning to recreate a reasonable facimile of the drawing and we started to paint. We got some help from Cari Roberts and Anna Looby. We finished around 12:00 noon.
Paint is mixed by dropping different dyes into white paint. The paint itself is terribly runny and not like you get here in North America.
Outside the blue border, one of the local boys drew a number of flowers that really compliment the picture. It will take us several days to get this done.
The local young boys were very intrigued by the young females on our team. They crowded into the room and became very pushy in trying to get close. Parents came in several times quite concerned for the girls but we assured them Ray and I would make sure they were okay.
12:30 we were back to the farm for lunch of cole slaw and lentels.
