Hey everyone sorry for the cliff-hanger of a blog last time and then silence for awhile. We have been planning, organizing, and figuring out the best way to get out project out! We have landed on using a website called chip-in. It is a crowd-funding site where people can read about the project and donate whatever they desire through paypal. We have some pretty awesome incentives coming up for donations. We will also have all kinds of information, videos and pictures about the project. The challenge with chip-in is the only people that will see it, are people we share it with. So that is where you come in! We need help passing this project and site around. Our chip-in will go live Feb 29th and we will have til the end of April to raise 8,500 dollars. But we want to started with a bang. So start thinking of who you know that would love to be a part of this. We have put together a little video get the energy and excitement started. Enjoy! 1 week and couting...

The basic idea of the Paint the Movement. Moving Bodies. Growing Minds.
We are going back with the goal of helping physically disabled children at Chileshe Chepele Special Needs School in two significant ways.
1. We will be holding a teacher training for all the teachers focusing on utilizing physical therapy materials and equipment they have, fine motor skills, and alternative and creative ways to include physical therapy in the classroom. The best way to grow is through education and who better to educate than teachers that can turn around and pass it along. It can be the beginning of sustainable change and give some needed support to these motivated teachers.
2. While Ellyn and the district Physical Therapist are facilitating the workshop. Ashley and I will be prepping a mural. On the final day, students and teachers will come together and paint a mural at the school with everything we got; from the fine motor skills development to the hand prints of the children. It will be a chance to bring art to these children, something that they rarely get. We hope it will allow them to express themselves creatively and contribute to a powerful group message that will impact the entire community.
Love you all
Thanks for staying tuned
