Yesterday was the first hands on day. The first day where people actually were physically doing stuff: painting, cutting, cleaning, fixing... Truly exciting and fun! We wanted to apply the orange of the logo everywhere in a creative way. Since we don't have much money, nor time, everything had to be improvised. Instead of properly printing t-shirts, we created a stencil and spray-painted them. Kendal had the great idea of refurbishing the dilapidated bus in the sqaure and turn into a video exhibition space. This felt like one of the commercials I use to see on TV where start basketball players go to a local community for a day and paint houses and plant trees, etc. This time it was real. There was a real sense of excitement in everyone: to slowly see a run down art center into a new and energetic place with color and innovative ideas.

Great to be able to keep up with you in this way. The people of Kryg will surely enjoy as much as you mean them to.
