Faces of the Neighborhood Barbeque

This event was put on by a small group from Zolder 50, the church we partnered with in Amsterdam.
One of the girls in the small group lives in this neighborhood and is an artist.
She painted pictures of people that live in each one of the buildings below and then hung it up on the side of the apartment buildings to represent the faces of the neighborhood.
Then the small group hosted a barbeque for all of the tenants. So, while the DJ played some reggae, our team helped by setting up the tent, barbequeing chicken & burgers and making coffee (it was cold remember?).
We had a great time helping out were inspired by the creativity of this event.
What a memorable way to reach out to our neighbors: the people that we see on a daily basis, yet hardly ever slow down long enough to have a conversation with them.
Added Bonus: *The faces can be see by the passing train commuters.*
