Day 2 Reflection

 (This is a post about my experiences on Monday, July 9th. I realize it is Wednesday now.)

Megan carries the hefty weeds.

Sage died. (It is a paint splatter that was already there.)

I took a wonderfully cold shower. Not knowing for sure what we wanted to do, we drove to Cass Commons. We decided to go to a work brigade at Nsoroma. Kim, the wonderfully lady who is letting us stay in one of her houses, showed us how to get to Nsoroma. Nsoroma is an african centered school. As far as I can tell, they also teach the students a lot about nature and do many hands-on projects.

Cleo is very good at weeding.

This was a mural at Nsoroma. The children painted it.

At Nsoroma, I picked some vegetables. We gave some of the vegetables to families that were playing at Nsoroma. Their faces lit up like the sky during a fireworks show.

Then we went on a mural tour. We saw four murals.

This one is about inspiring youth to follow their dreams. It was created by
 a group of youth, with the help of Juan Martinez.

This mural was also created by a group of youth. The girl on the far left is using telekenesis  to pick up trash. The guy of the left is using his growing power. The person in the light purple shirt is using their party power to create entertainment. The girl on the far right is a giant and has super speed. She is using her powers to rebuild old houses.

Youth from Detroit Sumer explain their Dance and Culture print.

Another Detroit Summer print

I found this at The Alley Project. A lot of the squares in the fence were filled
with these knitted/crocheted squares. It was really cool.

This was the most "realistic" mural. Realistic is in quotes because Yoda is a
fictional character.

This was my favorite mural. I love space-themed things.
