On Sunday, Adrienne and I spent all day Sunday creating letter stencils for my English group members to use to paint the alphabet on the wall.
Again, for almost all of them, this was their first time ever painting and they couldn't have been more excited to help out!
Then on Tuesday, Adrienne and I took over the task of outlining all the letters in black. Here's the finished product!
We are also working on creating a mural on the wall using the hand prints of everyone who has helped with the library construction. Eventually, the idea is to turn the hand prints in to flowers.

And now, today, Saide is finishing up the patio, cementing the floor.
We have just finished the second trimester of school and are heading in to two weeks of vacation. After an adventure overland to Zambia to visit Victoria Falls, I'll be back to finish the final touches of the library, work out the logistics, receive the Portuguese books and open the doors to the community!
I can't believe that there are no stripes, but I think the alphabet counts, which I must admit looks perfectly spaced! Great idea to keep it low on the wall. Genius to involve so many members of the community to truly make it "their" library - or a little bit like Tom Sawyer! Great job!
ReplyDeleteSo amazed as always when I catch up on your blog. The alphabet is brilliant!
