Splash the wall!

As part of the many discussions with the children, one thing that came up often was the fact that even though there was so much place in the compound of the community, people really mess it up and it doesn't 'look nice', 'its embarrassing' and 'we keep falling ill'. On asking them what they would want to do for their community, they said they would like to make it a happier place by making it brighter and they would love to paint everywhere.

Painting everywhere was obviously not possible ! I got permission from people from the community and the BMC to allow the children to paint one wall that can be visible as you enter. After whitewashing the wall, I let the kids do whatever they liked under the large umbrella of :
what do you like about your community?
What would you like in your community?
What would you tell others about your community?

Splash the Walls

This was done a week and a half ago on a sunday when we had and all day class.

Special thanks to all my friends (Janita, Sanya, Aakanksha and Manish) who volunteered on this day to help out with everything including making sure the kids dint use the spray paint on each other.
