Project 41

Project 41 'aka' Project "Piney Woods"

The weekend of October the 11th was a busy time for many people, however some students took time out of their hectic schedules to show some local children the love of Jesus in a simple way; Facepainting! Students also shared information on the upcoming "Operation Christmas Child."
Students tirelessly worked through the day painting children’s faces at the Piney Woods festival, held at Veteran’s park. The festival is an annual event benefiting the Alabaster Library. Many children stopped by during the day, wanting many different things painted on their faces and arms. Some of the more popular designs included, Hearts, butterflys, footballs, soccer balls, baseballs, Alabama and Auburn Logos and of course Ninja-Turtles. The team included, Drake and Dean Fowler, Jonathan Prince, Mr. Bobby and Mrs. Lillian Culpepper and Myself. Experiencing all of the awesome art and culture on the 51 blog has inspired me to compose a limerick based on this weekend’s events:

The Students of Westwood don’t faint
When they are asked to facepaint
When children come by
They’ll get a heart or butterfly
And they get it with joy, not complaint.

Tom (you can’t touch my rhymes) Bird.

Words cannot express the fear in the eyes of the girl whose face Drake is painting.
