H.B. FULLER FOUNDATION GRANT

WITH THE ASOCIACION ROBLEALTO

San Jose, Costa Rica 1993-1994

Executed by Sarah Strachan

From September 1993 through September 1994 I worked with the Associacion Roblealto organizing an art program for 105 of their elementary school students. I received support for the project from a H.B. Fuller Foundation Grant. The program included teaching art to the students, training the teachers to continue the art classes after I had left, and organizing and creating community mural projects. The Associacion Roblealto is a Christian organization that runs three day care centers in San Jose inner city areas. They provide education, health services, mental health services and food to the low income children whom they sponsor. I worked in the three centers teaching seven classes to the eight through twelve year old children. I also organized the students and teachers at each center to complete one or more large outdoor murals.

Below you will find images from my experience teaching, as well as a few examples of the murals that the children completed. Each photo has several more underneath it. Feel free to scroll through them all by clicking on the photograph itself.

Enjoy, Sarah
