LiA/Onet mural for the WE Center (July - Sept 05)
At the chicago conference in July, Onet members worked together to produce 2 Peace Tiles murals - one for the Sugar Theater in LA, and one for the WE Center in Uganda.
With 15 Onet made tiles as a start in the middle, Life in Africa members held a Peace Tiles Party today at the WE Center to create a frame of tiles with a brown background around the (gold background) Onet community tiles. Each member pitched in enough to cover materials, and to pay for a Peace Tiles party for 20 recently returned LRA child soldiers on October 2, at the Gusco reception center in Gulu.
This mural is - as arranged by the group - going to hang on the back wall in the internet4change lab at the WE Center. Considering that our members are now joining Onet en-masse, the symbolic timing of this activity couldn't have been better.
Special Thanks to everyone at Onet who participated in creating the central part of this masterpiece - especially to Meron who brought them to Chicago with such a great background all the way from BC Canada, and Evonne who lugged it all the way back to LA for me! We love it!
