Today our artistic team continued their amazing work down at the hospital. Artwork like this has been previously unseen in this region!

Here we have one of the walls, panning from left to right
An Australian touch, with a kangaroo
And Tigger makes an appearance, too! They've done a great job of replicating these out of colouring-in books we had
Carolina works on the opposite wall whilst Rudy admires the finished one
We were also priveleged to have the mayor's wife, Renia, pop in and help out today! Here she is painting alongside Joni
Fernando doing some finishing touches. All these hidden talents most of us didn't know about! It's great they are sharing these talents with others
A close up of the bird!
I noticed some Aussie hospital beds at the hospital! These were used by the "Hunter Area Health Service"
While at the hospital in the morning, we were asked if we could also paint many other walls in the hospital (!!) as they loved it so much! They also asked if we could repaint the cots they have there. Due to our resources being stretched, the local Adventist high school art students came along to help out with that!
Here they are sanding back the cots and cot supports, ready for painting
And one of the parents giving them a hand! He worked hard all morning at the site too. What a great help!
Stay tuned for more on this story, hopefully tomorrow.
