Travel Pro Art #10: Galapagos Elementrary School Murals! Part one (10 photos)
Hey there my Steemit friends. Here on the Island of San Cristobal in Ecuador's Galapagos Islands taking care of this unique natural environment is top priority. The Ecuadorians are very proud to have such an incredible place to call home and they make sure to teach their youth the importance of preserving such an amazing natural environment.
While walking five minutes from the airport into town, I walked past the elementary school of San Cristobal. The wall outside of the school was painted with murals showcasing their relationship with the environment. The students are really being taught that they are the care takers of this unique and sensitive ecosystem and it shows in their art work.
I found these paintings to be very touching and sincere. The children are being taught great principles and certainly have no problem expressing them on the walls outside of their school. Now come along and let's have a look at what the children are drawing here in San Cristobal Galapagos Islands!

With over 11 years of travel experience I answer travel and international lifestyle questions. Leave a question in the comments and I may make a Steemit post just for you!
Great murals! I love that you find, and share, the everyday art that is so easy to miss and just walk by without taking much notice.
Thank you my friend. After 11 years of travel I now really enjoy non touristy stuff the most. It's the "real" things that bring me the most pleasure, education, enlightenment, and over all value on my travels.
cool post, Dan. You mentioned a tool that I might like to use. Steemit.chat is down, can you contact me on discord? Thanks
I'm flying back to Guayaquil today. Once I get settled at my place (tomorrow) I'll surely get a hold of you on discord. Hope you are well :)
Starting for a young age! Hopefully, the children know and appreciate what a beautiful island they live on and can preserve the nature on there.
Maybe some practical infrastructure (like internet...) needs to be in place, but otherwise we hope the island doesn't become too overdeveloped.
I think most of the kids have experience Guayaquil Ecuador, the nearest city on the mainland. That would certainly give them a sense of appreciation of what they have! lol. Thanks for your comment like always. Will be leaving here today and will have better internet so, I'll have time to take a peak at your page later this week! Hope you guys are well :) -Dan

Want to have your post on the map too?
even in poverty you can plant beautiful values, schools are one of those places where these talents develop and make the world a better place
Couldn't agree more. Thank you for your excellent comment! Hope to see you again soon! -Dan
