Evolution of a Mural


We spent Saturday, a hot and steamy morning that ended in a downpour, at Hoa Mai orphanage in Danang.  It was a great first introduction to Giving it Back to Kids:  playing outside, painting fingernails, doing artwork, and painting a mural designed by our very own Frank Chimero.

After just a few hours [plus a handful of colors and some helping hands] this once-blank classroom wall is now alive.  Thanks to Frank, Chris, Brandon, Katie, and all of our hand-prints.






We'll be painting this mural at each orphanage we visit, adding the kids' hand-prints and other personalized details. (If you look closely, you'll find this one includes a chicken...to commemorate the chickens running around Hoa Mai's open-air grounds.)
