The Mural and the Park: Preston Palm

One of the projects that we completed while we were in Honduras was this mural that we completed on the back of the front gate to the colegio, or high school, the one that says, “Salvar el Planeta es trabajo de todos…’Ayudanos.’” This means, “Saving the Planet is the work of all… help us.” The girl in the yellow shirt came up with the design for the mural and several of us spent the afternoon painting it. It turned out quite nice.

Before we came, this park was in ruins. The slide had holes in it, the teeter-totter was missing a handle, the swings were completely gone, and the basketball goal was missing a rim. We fixed all of these issues and got to see our work appreciated by the local kids. The work for this part of the project was paid for in a combined effort of AMIGOS and the community, and the work was entirely done by the community members.
