Its been a whirlwind trip to the very end of this project. The dedication ceremony went very well. We had 79 people show for it along with the deputy mayor and the Peace Corps country director. It made russian news tv, web and journals. I believe we really got the message out about AIDS awareness here. I just completed participant evaluations and everyone was very proud of the mural. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is the first major mural in Kyrgyzstan since the Soviet era. Already we are starting to meet community members for our next two projects that we will start in the September/October of this year. Photos show the mural team, the deputy mayor giving a speech, and breakdancers performing at the event.
