“Unity”

We are often asked to paint this word, and I think it sums up the slums pretty well. Thank you to the people of Lideta for having chosen “unity”!

“Mercy” was the word that Hermes (15 years old) wanted us to paint on his house, in the slum of Lideta, Addis Ababa.

Sissay chose the word “Ethiopia” written in the local Amharic scrpit. It’s always a good challenge to paint in new scrpits !

Thinking about a bright future for the slum kids of Gagalangin.

“Hope”, painted on the edge of the slum, in Gagalangin, Manila.

Bong didn’t hesitate for a second when we asked him to chose a word. He said “unity” is the most important thing in his slum.
