So what is left is cleaning to make the center so it can be open for business and school
Pictured here are the 2 pre-school teachers & the Center's Manager they now have the keys and the future of the center in their hands. My responsibility for the Ward 4 Social Center is now officially over.
There is one part left to this and that is when the get to actually start school. The Center has already attracted more than the normal amount of children for enrollment. (technically, the PC paperwork is left also.)
I cleaned the toilets which where still covered in paint & then went home. It was nice to walk away knowing that the building will have a good life.
Here are some better photos of the mosaic (I had called it a mural, but I have been corrected murals are painted)

Hey, great photos - glad you were able to get a new camera. Good to talk with you this morning.
ReplyDeleteI think your mosaic fits in nicely. It looks like something a little kid would do, so very appropriate for that school kids area. Abstract color scheme.
