It’s wonderful to come back to New York after a month away on the road to find the mural project at Baruch Playground going full steam ahead. We are engaging not just kids from the community, but college students, parents, and many wonderful volunteers. As Michelle, our scholarship recipient told me, we are getting wonderful responses from the neighborhood. They say how beautiful it is already and how it changes the community. It’s good to see how the artists, our staff, and all the volunteers are working in concert to make a difference for all.
Mithra Birdie, our partner from Pakistan Pieces for Peace joined me to see the mural and was inspired to stay and paint. Here she is with me in the photos and volunteers from the Grand Street Settlement.
