This past Saturday I attended a fundraiser at Isla Bonita Elementary. The barbecue fundraiser was to help raise money for a family in need. Also on Saturday at Isla was a mural painting activity that I participated in. There is a cinder block wall that surrounds the school grounds and it has always been a faded yellow. The art director at this school, Natalie, organized an activity to paint the wall. The interns and the students painted a multicolored paisley/swirl design to encompass the school's personality and culturally unique population. Isla Bonita is one of the private elementary schools on the island. Class sizes range from 8-15 kids per class and there is one class per grade/standard. This picture was taken as we worked on painting the wall. Working side by side children of this school and my peers was a enjoyable way to spend part of my last Saturday on the island of San Pedro.
