Over the last 2 days i have taught over 200 children our paint4peace program at Moses Brown School, a leading college preparatory school located in Providence R.I. Needless to say it was a hectic couple of days running around but a refreshing reminder of all the good that can be done with our program. At the outset of our classes we outfit the participants ( in this case children between 4- 15) with PeaceLove shirts that they wear as smocks. I like to have a little fun with them by asking them why they wear the shirts which they always answer "so we don't get paint on our clothes" but i never have anyone get the answer to the 2nd reason why. Yesterday for the 1st time a young girl in the 5th grade shouted out the answer " because it's cool ". She was right on as i tell people if you look good, you feel good and if you feel good chances are you are going to paint something good. Seems pretty simple but that's it.
Have a great thanksgiving,
The Peaceman
