For my health murals I asked some middle school girls to help me with the prep work. I'm hoping that later I can train them to do murals that they design and execute themselves. This was a dipping-the toes-in test run with them.
Then my PCV friends, Cindy, Sean and Sarah LH, came and we painted several hours for 3 days. Cindy did impromptu workshops with the kids who came to gawk at the americans, presenting the issues we were painting and asking them questions about it. She put me to shame with her ability to teach hoards of little kids and her ability to speak Hausa. She also taught them duck duck goose to keep them entertained and out of our hair. Someday I will get videos up, but probably not for several months.
The titles in Hausa say: 'We wash our hands after we come out of the bathroom' 'We wash our kids' hands after they're finished going to the bathroom' and 'A variety of foods makes us healthy and strong'.
