How I did it: I actually did this with 14 people from my church. We went to Guatemala and painted a Biblical scene in a park of a very poor area. We took small pictures with grids on them then drew with red crayons on the wall we had chosen. We painted using oil paint because it will last the longest outside there.

Lessons & tips: I learned that people around the world really are the same at heart as we connected with the people of the area (despite not knowing the language). I also learned that oil takes a long time to dry so spread your work out.

Resources: If you do a mural in an impoverished area by all supplies there to help their economy. Also have your friends nearby to help!!
