Celebrating the above feast today, I thought it would most appropriate to update you on the designs of the English Room at DMI. On the 22nd of Aug, 24 hours after I left Hue, the doors of the then "English City" were finally opened. And because its doors were opened on the feast of the Queenship of Mary, it was finally christened as Holy Queen City.

More directions regarding the rest of the room were given to me as two freelance kindergarten classroom painters were swinging by DMI. It was agreed that I finished the design and let the two handicapped artists work on the actual painting. So that, if ever I do go back, my focus would be just on teaching English. These artists are hired by Vinamilk, a Vietnamese Dairy company that provides yogurt and milk to the various kindergartens, to do kiddie murals as gesture of thanks to bigger clients. I've seen the work these two artists have done in the various DMI run kindergartens that I've visited in Saigon and in Hue, so I'm looking forward to them completing the rooms! :O)

The room that I had worked on has been given an "American" touch to it, and the other smaller room next to it is given a Singapore City feel. (Click the images for a larger preview.)

The area above the Benjamin Sheares Bridge is left open for projections.
