June 16 10 pm

Today was an explosion of interaction at the Youth Center (Pallast). With the first two days of uncertainty and wariness, today many people of all ages sought us out to communicate. It was difficult to get working! My very bad German and their limited English proved to be an added feature to questions and answers.
Why do you come all the way from New York to paint? Can we hire you?
Why do we do this thing? How long are we here?
The American Church is a good thing for the neighborhood.
Directions for good places to visit or to go to eat.
Comparing schools, lives and seeing the differences, but embracing the similarities.
Compliments on a job well done.
Five days seems much too short a time, but bridges are being built – it is a wonderful thing.
