Painting at SMDT


Painting of SMDT, with minor hick ups we have given a bit of a much-needed face-lift.  A donation was made with instruction to do some home repairs, this sounds good to me!
Paint was purchased and roller and a TERRIBLE brush… with many hands (the kids) I knew it would be interesting. Some of them turned out to be better helpers then the grown ups! They want to do a good job and take their time looking for approval; I was quick to assign the title “big boss” to Paulo. He was thrilled to accept this title.
We did not have trays, or many of the needed materials to do a good job, but we made it work. And as the sun went down the final paint strokes showed a job well done.  The following day we painted the back porch, which is the kitchen. It also looks much nicer!





Evens cleans and preps the walls for paint!


the littlest of helpers... a small scrap of  an old shirt, and some water and only shown once! and she got the idea.




she cleaned this very spot for moments on end... too cute
our cheering squad! finding refuge in the shade.
cleaning up the water, for safety, and we are ready...





the passing of the power!!! haha




many hands makes easy work.
apparently i was happy to be painting! haha i probably was!!!
limited resources.. so we get inventive

the sun goes down, and we are done!
