Phrase of the day: Usando pintadores grafiti para lo que son buenos... Using grafiti painters for what they're good at.
Painting.
A few weeks ago Javi asked me to come see the bathroom in the high school. I was pretty confused, but I said "sure".
Thankfully when I entered, I knew exactly why he had asked.
There was grafiti all over the walls; something very new for San Isidro. Luckily, Javi already knew exactly who did it.
Lets just say, kids are not the brightest. This group decided to 'tag' "Los Angeles", the name of the neighborhood where they live. Town isn't huge, so only a few kids even live in that neighborhood. Why they didn't write something else, I have no idea?
But nonetheless, Javi wanted them to do something productive with their desire to paint.
And there comes Kasie and her love for painting murals. We called Brent, a volunteer who lives somewhat nearby, and we began. ("somewhat nearby" in Ecuador equals less than 5 hours away).
He, I forget his name, seemed to enjoy helping us.
Everyone did his/her part.
Just mixing the colors was by far my favorite though.
Brent is pretty into art, and he came up with this main image.
The finished product.
Not a bad few hours of work.
