Young volunteers visiting Sousa’s House on the Capitol Hill. Sousa and his marching band are the center piece of the most recent mural by DECOY. The work got delayed because of the rain yesterday, therefore we can use everybody who can show up on Saturday at 10am. It is in walking distance from Potomac Ave Metro, on side of Wisdom Cafe, 1432 Pennsylvania Ave SE. Wear working clothes and sun protection.

Recently, we have completed a large mural in collaboration with Youth for Human Rights International working with students from Rock Creek Academy. We are planning on bringing this project into more schools and we are currently seeking sponsors and donors who will help us work with young people and educate them about their rights.

Albus Cavus is participating in DCPS Beautification Day. This year we are working with Malcolm X Elementary School on Saturday, August 21st, 2010, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. This annual event was established in 2005 as a citywide “spruce up” of all DC public school buildings in preparation for the first day of school. Beautification efforts will include landscaping, trash pick-up, light painting, planting flowers, and other external beautification efforts. Volunteers and supplies are needed at over 100 schools.
