We're so Blue!

Our new classrooms at Chipulukusu are turning BLUE!  After being painted a bright white, the classrooms have now been painted blue.  The Kafwa visit to Chikumbuso in January inspired them with the colors they saw everywhere.  When they got back to Chipulukusu they discovered there were 3 gallons of white paint left.  By adding a little blue, viola! they had enough to paint both of the classrooms.

The students and the teachers love the blue!  Not only is it a calming color for classroom management but it is also distinctive in the community.  All of the other schools are painted stark-plain-vanilla white.  The next step is to install wooden rails on all of the classroom walls so colorful art work and learning materials can be displayed.  With split second timing, the upcoming Buckhorn, CA Women's Retreat offered to make laminated number and alphabet cards that can be used for display.  How cool is that?
