Persistence
Machala, Ecuador • September 2017
Under all possible adversity persistence is our first brush stroke to success. A foreign situation can un-mask a reality resulting in the possible creation of a mural, and like that at the elementary school Unidad Educativa ciduad de Machala, it was the collective efforts that brought forth the idea of Herr foundation to become an educational tool of social transformation through the arts and other communal actions.
