Completing The Mural
On Monday the 29th of August we went back to the school in Rio Blanco to end the mural we had started during our visit on the 4th of August.
Rio Blanco is a small village situated in the heart of the Machalilla National Park and it has no bus connections, we went by car together with Gabriela and some volunteers from the national park office, who were going to plant some trees there.
The children were very happy to see us again. While we were preparing the paint, they got us water and eagerly they waited their turn so that we could paint their hands blue. One after the other they put their hands on the wall, and quickly the smiling whale drawn the last time was able to swim in a sea of blue prints!
As the community of Rio Blanco is located in the Machalilla National Park jungle unlike the other schools that we visited which are rather coastal, the director asked us to paint also something that would represent the forest. So next to the whale we painted a big tree and the children filled it with life drawing a monkey, a parrot, a snake and colourful birds!
In the profile of the whale we left the message: "take care of nature." The Nicolas Lopez’s small school is now proud to have an original and wonderful representation of the marine and terrestrial biodiversity of Machalilla National Park!

El lunes 29 de Agosto volvimos a la escuelita de Rio Blanco para terminar el mural que habíamos empezado en nuestra visita del 4 de Agosto.
Es un pueblo ubicado en el corazón del Parque Nacional Machalilla y sin conexión de buses entonces fuimos en carro con Gabriela y unos voluntarios del Parque Nacional Machalilla que iban allá para plantar unos arboles en la escuela.
Los niños estaban muy felices de vernos otra vez. Mientras preparabamos la pintura, nos llevaron agua y con entusiasmo esperaron su turno para que les pintabamos las manos. Uno tras otro pusieron sus manos en el muro y rapidamente la ballena sonriente dibujada la ultima vez pudo nadar en un mar de huellas azules!
Como la comunidad Rio blanco esta ubicada en la selva del Parque Nacional Machalilla a contrario de las otras escuelas que visitamos que son mas bien costeñas, el director nos pidió de pintar también algo que representara el bosque. Asì que al lado de la ballena pintamos un gran arbol y los niños lo llenaron de vida dibujando un mono, un loro, una culebra y aves de todos colores!
En el perfil de la ballena dejamos el mensaje: “cuidamos la naturaleza”. La pequeña escuela Nicolas Lopez se orgullese de tener ahora una representacion original y magnifica de la biodiversidad marina y terrestre del Parque Nacional Machalilla!

For the same cause I saw some interesting Custom Stickers and Fridge Magnets designed by some talented kids.
I see these children so passionate about what they do, so serene and delighted while painting these walls. Specialists say you have to let a child develop all his abilities and explore all of his talents. That`s why, when we had our baby, we postponed all the house remodeling work with a few years, for him to feel free and play as much as he wants round the house. He painted the walls as well, we let him do all this damage and when he grew older we hired a contractor and got the house restored completely on the inside and on the outside. We even asked for Debris Removal San Diego`s help for this matter. Lots of debris around the house, you know...

Resume the volcano vaporizer review, let’s note once again:
- Its high quality
- Efficiency, low consumption of herb with achievement the same effect
- It does not pass out vapor
- Using two types of valves: an "easy" and "solid" valves
- The device comes with a three-year warranty
- It works quietly
That's a good education they get. I am happy to see this. hotel accommodation

These are wonderful pictures. They remind me of an adventure I took with my cat. We spent a significant amount of time in the Machalilla National Park. That was until my pet experienced some type of cat skin reaction that required our return and the care of a veterinary dermatologist.
As early as their age, they already know how to protect nature and base on the pictures that were shown, these kids would continue the advocacy of preserving nature. I love the representation of the whale swimming in the color blue hand-prints of the kids. Its like the whale is being protected. Hope to see more kids like them in the future.
I love your post, I will be coming back for more.

Through mural paintings, it is good that we can see our child be part of it, as this is some of the medium they can share whats on their mind.
