Meet our Interns
This Week Adan and Mariely are interns with the Farmworkers Association of Florida.
Their work will be with artist and Environmental Justice activist Caryl Henry Alexander.
Adan Rodriguez, 17 A student at Sebastian River High School, in Fellsmere FL.
Mariely Castillo, 18, A student at Sebastian River High School, in Fellsmere FL.
On Thursday and Friday evening they got oriented to the project plan of action, created concepts and themes that reflect their community, developed designs and made preparations for the community painting events on Saturday and Sunday.
Adan saw a post on social media and thought it would be fun to see what was going on. He was interested in the art aspect of this project and experiencing something new. Adan has worked with the Farmworkers Association of Florida on a local, state and national level. He says his most rewarding as well as his most challenging thing about this project was painting and getting to meet new people.
