On Monday, Joel and Gersion headed to Gama to go to a local community center directed by Partners member Gilmar Batista dos Santos. Joel was given a tour of the facility and then got to work painting with some local artists and youth. Gilmar happened to be friends with a local fireman, who lifted Joel up high with his firetruck to allow Joel to paint the top of the building. Lots of local kids showed up to watch the painting. Once again, the piece was left incomplete due to a huge thunderstorm that arrived in the afternoon, forcing everyone to take cover inside for the rest of the day.The local artists promised to finish the piece and send the pics to Joel.
