Add some color to life

To add some color to the life of the children from the slum Gorakhabasi Basti, they were asked to decorate and paint the outer wall of Crazy Wanderers homestay.
Led by Sally - a traveler from Australia - the children sketched their ideas on paper. The 15-year-old Sagar proudly shows his drawing to 'the teacher'.
This artist wanted to be in a photo together with his creation.
Each of the kids found a spot on the wall and went ahead sketching their ideas onto their improvised canvases.
In pure concentration this girl made her drawing come to life on the wall.
The kids were given their desired colors by the paint mixing team. Daria, Moa, Anna and Sally - all staying in the homestay - hardly could meet demand mixing all the colors.
Soon a deep blue sea appeared on the wall, created with passion.
At the end of the afternoon the kids went home, happy as a bunch of Mickey Mouses. We wish there could be more days as colorful as this for these kids.
