last few days


Saturday there was a group of teenage volunteers who came from a school in Guatemala City to work on the construction of the school. THe prject for the day was to fill in the cracks of the tire wall with cobb to make the surface even. They brought pine needles that they added to a mixture of mud and water to create cobb. They had to mix it all together by stomping on the big pile of mud, and once it was ready we were able to throw the mud on the wall (literally). It was a great service project--muddy, dirty, and fun!
I was requested to paint Che on one of the Pilas (wash station) in the park (the guy who started Long Way Home has a little obsesson with him). Hopefully he likes it, my version is a little skinny and looks a little too much like Ross from Friends-- so we´ll see!
Otherwise, these are photos of the other volunteers-Rafael throwing mud, McKenzie and Whitney after the work day, and Rebecca and Andy in a little yard outside their room.

  1. I love your Che painting! I'm thinking we need one at the Ballard Fun House.
