One day community mural

This is the link to see the photographs of the work we did on Saturday April 30th from 9-2pm at Soledad St in salinas "China town." This is a very poor area where a lot of homeless people hang out and where Dorothy's Kitchen, an organization, works providing meals to people. Them together with csumb students and professors as well as other organizations "hijos del sol" us, and volunteers organized this event today to make this area look prettier. There are a lot of plans to improve the conditions in this area providing emergency housing to homeless families, rehabilitation programs, etc. It's really cool to see that there is people who care and want to make this area look nice and help those that need, ending homelessness, hunger, etc. I'm very proud and happy that I was called by Jose and these people to direct this one day mural painting, it's not really a mural, we had no sketches so we just worked with what ever paint we had and resources we had. i think we all did great, knowing that it's something that was created in a few hours with no real planning. Since I was the one in charge of directing this and I learned a lot from this experience. The ideal plan is to create a real mural in the whole wall in the future, but for that we need about 10 grant. well, I think that it's great to plan these type of things and i love the fact that agustin, and even my tete were part of this. they support me all the time. I was impressed that celeste worked with us painting the walls for all those hours. She really worked and did great and she is only 3 years old. She loves painting and getting messy. I love painting and doing art. La Union Hace La Fuerza!
Peace!
