Day 2

The day began with all of the volunteers meeting with the Director of United Saints to discuss all of the sites. Once he briefed us on all of the sites, we got a chance to select a service project of our choice to work on. Since there are a lot of volunteers, many of the sites got filled very quickly. I after seeing what was still available to sign up for, joined the art team. Our group traveled to a church which isn't to far from the United Saints' building.

At the church we were told about the art project we would be working on. The kids in the community started a mural to express how they feel about their community, and we were there to help finish it. In the beginning we looked at a sketch and discussed how everything should be. Then we jumped on in and began to paint. Before we knew it, we had paint covering ourselves, but more importantly it was covering the walls in which we diligently made an effort to enhance. The mural is only partially completed, so it is a work in progress.
