A rainy morning moved the mission indoors. Children began with games and charades, then built their own guitars from simple materials.

The instruments gave them a direct way to explore vibrating strings, tension, and sound. Each guitar had its own decoration, and the build became part of the group’s continuing work with music and performance.
