Okay, so every day driving to work I am reminded about how difficult life is still for many South Africans. But after watching this video, it also reminded me that when people are given a chance they will strive for the betterment of their entire community. The idea is simple, change the perspective of the community by transforming their environments, and in this case they use colour as a medium of communication.
They are not saying that by painting the houses in a given neighbourhood it will change the circumstances of the people living there, but it’s a positive start to encourage those living there to strive for more.
Enjoy the talk by Haas and Hahn
Just imagine South Africans doing this? Possibilities are endless if we just believe. It works in the Bo-Kaap why not everywhere else?
