In Lima and Iquitos, walls of goodness are painted

On a wall, in the muruy bora community, in Iquitos, the Amazonian painter Brus Rubio, together with a group of children, has painted a mural with themes and characters from his people. In Lima, in the 6th block of Avenida Del Ejército, a collective of artists has done the same, a mural with messages to passersby.

With these actions, the BIK Foundation, of the Bedari Kindness Institute of the University of California, United States, celebrates the World Kindness Day. Precisely, these murals, which will be replicated for six months in different cities of Peru, are called “murals of goodness.”

The BIK Foundation is an organization that promotes kindness to fight violence against children and women. On this occasion, it has organized seven free activities to celebrate this day. Access them, go to the foundation’s Instagram account: @FundacionBIK.
