August 14 continued. On Day 2 we had a service project at multiple places. Our group went to a school where we were divided into groups of 10 or so with 2 supervisors. We were to paint a large room, with people who had never painted. We had mostly Romanians, Czechs and Poles. They were all eager to learn, using paint we had to dilute, with rollers and a tray that hung in the buckets. It was interesting. But we had tapers, edgers, rollers and painters, all worked together and we had a good time. That evening there was a talent show, only one pic from that, and the next day a country by country presentation. Deb and I did Moldova, and commented that it was ironic, having Canadians presenting Moldova. It was all interesting. Lots of great talent in all.

| I am with Elina and Irina from Romania, starting our painting. We had the helping hand vests, all in Polish |
 |
| I rather got tangled up in the silly vest |
 |
| Sevghi in her room, much more of a challenge, no masking tape |
 |
| Nina, not showing off for the camera, maybe the first time ever |
 |
| As previously stated |
 |
| I thought my couple on the ladder were rather chummy and hugging a little more than necessary. Found out they are getting married in 2 weeks, I guess it was a good excuse. Not a lot of painting occurred up high. |

| the Polish group, rather neat shirt-flag. Girl on right, Kaja, said I was like a grandpa. Very sweet young lady, member of 2-3 months. |
 |
| The Poles put up Polish tongue twisters and had people in the audience try to say them, Try the next two, English is on the bottom. |
 |
Actually real words
It was all a lot of fun, we met so many interesting people. |
