PAINT!!!!

I felt like a kid in art class today as I helped mix paint with the master of paint mixing. Katie, another volunteer (who took these pictures), is the art pro of the group and the person assisting me with the school mural. She drew the picture for the mural and helped draw it on the wall as well.

After making 4 trips to the paint store (two bus rides away), then carrying those gallons of paint back home and finally to the school, we got to start mixing paint today. The teachers at my school have been confused for weeks on how we were going to make all those colors out of the basic primary colors (red, yellow and blue for the slow ones), blue and black. I reassured them that it wouldn't end up being a Picasso painting and things will look fantastic when complete.

Here are some pictures of the adventures today. We are getting one step closer to paint on the walls. AMEN!
