Objectives 1,2,3,4

Changes in attitude/behaviour reflection: Increased enthusiasm and participation from community members especially children. Everyone showed excitement about contributing to the mural. People who may not have interacted with other residents came together engaging in conversation and working together. Drivers slow down now to look at the finished mural. There is an increase in community pride. People are talking about the mural. There is greater awareness of GNN as we have had more people join our page. This could lead to more people joining GNN.
