Linda's Class

Art has no boundaries! Linda offered art classes using pastels to the English as a Second Language class for women. She worked inside the first two days as storms rolled through and pelted the metal roof. Today was the final day. So outside they went to paint amazing vistas while sitting in front of the new primary school.

Having lived in Montana and Colorado it was as if I was there again! Mountains, greenery and fresh air at 6,500 foot elevation. The women were serious students as they quietly painted for 2 hours each day. Even a little one helped his mother. We were thrilled that women came from the community but also included our cooks and mamas. They loved experiencing creativity. For most it was the first time they created a piece of art.

After the art class they would head to the new sewing center for another hour of sewing class. It is absolutely amazing what is happening in this community. Watch for a story about the Urukundo Sewing Center.
