 Painting the mural!
 This is Victor. He is nine. And he is a cutie!
 This is Neyber. I called him vecino jokingly. Vecino means neighbor in spanish. It was a good teaching moment :)
We painted a tree, then I had all the boys use their hands in green paint to create the leaves. 
 The boys were all very helpful!


 Mixing different colors of green.

 The finished tree! 
 Painting the other wall with the boys.

 Noé and Victor, the two youngest boys.
Me with all the boys. From left top to bottom right: Neyber, Jhon, Aravel, Fabian, Noé, Michel, Gabriel, Nelson, Wilson, and Victor. (Two boys, Simon and José are sadly not in this picture.)
Part of the finished mural.
 Me with José and Neyber.
 Me with Victor, a selfie he took himself! The boys loved taking pictures. That's mainly why I have any pictures of myself with them at all! Because they took them!
 My country director Eliana, with me and Aravel, putting the finishing touches on the mural my last night there. 
 The whole group! All the volunteers who worked on the mural and taught english, with the boys and Luis.
