African Community Mural by Phillip Martin and volunteer painters from Zwedru, Liberia
Phillip Martin began to paint community-building murals in the summer of 2008 after receiving an email from an HIV/AIDS orphan-care center in the African nation of Namibia. The email asked for permission to use clip art he had designed and posted on his website. Martin, who was teaching in Belgium at the time, gave permission for the center to use the images to decorate the building as long as he could participate. He designed a mural and then did final touch-ups after more than 50 volunteers, orphanage staff members and children painted his design onto the wall.
