Inspirational artists, Ms. VanderPol explains that "In their artwork, the girls may include such themes as: the unity of girls around the world; how to communicate their similarities and differences — growing pains and triumphs; how their individual journeys are similar throughout the world; how their different paths lead to the same goals of loving ourselves-knowing ourselves-forgiving ourselves."
Dr. Price states, “We are asking our girls in MPLS to explore the question of what does it mean to be a positive, powerful and purposeful women in your world. How can you use the leadership skills learned from the women in Girls in Action to explore your rights and create change in yourself, community, country and world? Our girls from Minneapolis Public Schools will begin the mural and our new girls in Guatemala will complete the painting."
