Harambee, as part of its Global Youth Action project has supported youth action by young people of the Blackwell Travellers site whom Ormiston Children and Families Trust work with.
Harambee helped the young people explore possibilities, plan and then carry out improvement of their local environment. The entrance to their Travellers site was unprepossessing and unwelcoming - the young people wanting feel prouder of their site did a clearup of the area and designed and paitned a mural that would show the positive aspects of their lifestyle and what they were proud of.

The transformation of the tunnel by the mural painting can be seen in the photostory below.
The photos are in order and there are captions which each picture to guide you through the story.

• If you are a young person aged 13-19 with a passion to take action on a global issue then we can support you to realise your project.
• If you are involved in a youth group or are a youth worker we can support you to give your project a global dimension.
