Youth in Chang Jiji decided that the walls of the youth centre in Chang Jiji should be painted blue and bright orange.The painting is finally done. We were all quite busy, even painting over the weekend. It was the first time for all of us to paint, but we had fun learning it. The centre looks much better, brighter and attractive now. It will look even better with designs on the walls. Asha Karma will help us to design and paint these. We will all become artists!
