When Dani, a vivacious 22-year old volunteer (and recent college grad), came to assist in teaching a class on environmental issues at FLO, she also brought the bright idea of facilitating the painting of a mural. She donated the funds to purchase the paint, shopped all over Phnom Penh for the materials, gathered the “artistic” students, and gave just the right amount of coaxing to get their creative juices flowing.

Dani felt that the mural should be dedicated to the memory of Rob’s wife, Mei; everyone quickly agreed. Below are some shots of this most appropriate tribute.

Once the concept was agreed upon, everyone began to paint with gusto.

The peanut gallery.

A ray of sunshine. : )

There are many artists at FLO.

See?

Looking good!

Even Koko the dog got excited about it!

That’s all for now, folks. : )
