Day Eleven and Twelve

On Friday went to Bangalingding to continue painting. We managed to get the whole room finished as the teachers had removed the rest of the boxes and toys. Looking really good now! Amazing what a lick of paint can do!

Here is the otherside:

And very excitingly on fridy after we'd been to the school we went to friday prayers (which was extra important because it was a bank holiday) BUT meant that we had to wear traditional muslim attire, which, we looked pretty darn special in.... as you will now see!!!



Not how you're used to us looking like right?! But was a really good experience and totally different to anything we know...! Not sure what was said at the prayers as it was in Mandinka but we may now be muslim...... hmmm.

On saturday we went back to the project so that Lizzie could make the most of her last few days [ :( ]. We drew the tree on the main wall and painted most of it (apart from the shadows) ... got throughly messy in oil paint (which is a Bu**er to work with!!) .... here's a little taster of what it is looking like so far:
