Casi, casi (almost, almost)

Here are a few more pictures from my library. We have most the walls painted as we'd like, the shelves are in place (side note: this is not the way I envisioned the shelves, but rather flat against the wall, but this is what the people want, and I am here to give them what they want), hands have been painted across the room and I am currently organizing the books we've purchased into a basic color coding system. So far, we've bought just about RD $50,000 worth of books (or about US $1,400)! Next week, we're heading back into Santiago to buy even more books and finish buying other supplies, like children's games, a trash can, paint and a rug.

It's getting there, paso a paso, step by step. Thank You for your support and love throughout this entire project!

A view from the new blue wall with the books and Todo es Posible- All is Possible.


Books! With the ultra-modern color coding system


The view from the hallway coming into the library. You can see the painted hands, the map, the tree and the word Biblioteca - Library- on the wall.


The tree! With more butterflies and a rabbit. Ronny from my town did the painting, and as you can see- he is very talented.


A personal touch from Fausto, a teacher at my center. He painted two more outlets with the American flag, and two more with the Dominican flag.
