Unveiling one of their biggest projects to date was a big highlight for the art club and all the Daraja girls. Earlier this month members of the club finished painting the Daraja gate, plans for which were started back in June when students from Marin Academy were on campus.

The gate - before...

The Daraja girls worked with the American students to come up with an idea that would represent Daraja and give a strong impression to campus visitors as they roll in.

Painting the gate was more than just a task in art club, says Alice A., a second year student. It has helped the girls recognize their artistic gifts as well. “Being able to draw and paint are talents we wouldn’t have discovered without Daraja.”

With some good time management the girls were able to fit this huge project into their final term schedules. They are so proud of the results! Amazing job, girls!
