Today I met with Grace Serra. She gave me a tour of the Children's Hospital. It was cool to see all the artwork throughout the hospital as well as how kid friendly the hospital is.
For my service learning she is having me work on some paintings that kids had started for a mural they are putting up. A few squares were never made and she needs help getting them done.
Although this is not exactly what I had expected to be doing for my service learning, I am excited to do it none the less. I look forward to being able to contribute to this mural as well as contributing to the Children's hospital.
My only concern is that I will not have any interaction with any of the children at the hospital. I feel like it would be important for the service learning project to work with the people, but I understand that she is busy this semester and it is not going to work out. I am thinking in order to fulfill this I might just try and visit art & soul or mariners inn.
Even though I am not working with anyone, I feel that this could be a therapeutic for me to work on these paintings. This will also be something that will help me de-stress from all my studying and paper writing :).
Maybe I can even think about what those kids were thinking while they were painting their squares for the mural. I believe Grace mentioned they were kids with HIV.
Looking forward to getting started!
