A Picture About Love

A bird caring for her child, surrounded by flowers and colourful saris. An image filled with patterns that we painted together with the community, covering the walls from the beginning of the street all the way to the end: a painting stretching over 100 metres.
Right in the middle of chaos, challenges, family life, it carries a simple message:
You are not alone.
You are held.
You are protected.

“I really enjoy painting. The picture is so beautiful, and it is being created right outside my front door. That makes it so precious. While painting, I was able to fully concentrate and forget everything around me.”
— Sumona*, mother of one

And at the end, we did what we always do. We printed the photos. And then we shared them throughout the community.
Because a photo is more than just a memory. It is a way of saying: I see you. I remember this moment with you. You are part of this story.

Sometimes, something as simple as a printed photograph can say all of that.

Since 7 years we create the Box of Hope with lots of passion. Every Box is folded by hand with a lot of care. The beautiful thing is that you not only get your Box but with every purchase you donate money to .ngo. Every purchase spreads hope in two ways!

What did we learn through this project? A lot. Probably more than we could ever put into words.
But here are some random pieces of things we took home with us:

Sharing a cup of tea is one of the most precious thing and it takes courage to invite a stranger into your home.
Because when you invite someone for tea in your home, you let them into your life. You make space for them. You say: come, sit with me, be part of this moment. We felt incredibly grateful for every single cup of tea that was shared with us.

The best ever T’shirts from my little friend! “Better days are coming.” and “Need more sleep.”

Take some henna and paint your hands. It will make you happy. Seriously. There is something about sitting together, creating patterns and looking at your hands afterwards that simply brings joy and calms down.

Take photos on your phone, but don’t forget to print them.
Because a photo living on a phone is nice. A photo you can hold, keep, put on a wall or give to someone is something else entirely.

Share gifts. At the end of the project, the Footballkids gave Nias and Monia a Football—Tshirt with their name on it. They had all put money together to buy it for them. It was such a precious gift. Knowing that they had all contributed, that they had thought about us and wanted to give him something, moved our hearts so much.

Thats what Love it, a cup of tea, a printed photography, a henna painting, a hug, a gift that says: you matter to us.

Isn’t it incredible that, just by looking at a hand, we can already imagine the person behind it?
Every line, every scar, every vein, every ring can tell a story.
Hands are the ones that reach out and hold another hand. The ones that comfort, wipe away tears, pick up broken pieces and carry what is too heavy to carry alone.
But hands can also carry memories of things we wish had never happened. They can hold stories of pain, of fear, of moments when they were not safe.
And perhaps that is what makes it so powerful when hands that have known pain create beauty instead. When those same hands paint patterns. When they transform a place that is often known only for its difficult sides. When they leave something beautiful behind.
Like the idea behind the House of Many Rooms: we are all made up of many different rooms. There can be pain in one, joy in another. Anger, fear, tenderness, hope, strength. They can all exist within the same person.
And sometimes, creating something beautiful is a way to be reminded:
I am not only the things that have happened to me. I am not only one emotion, one experience, one story.
I am so much more than that.
And this is Hope.

Patterns of Peace
We decided to fill the leaves with patterns.
Partly because patterns are deeply familiar in India. Henna is everywhere, and so many people here are incredibly talented at creating the most intricate designs. Many grow up surrounded by these traditions, watching and learning from the people around them.
But there is another reason why we chose patterns.
There is something deeply calming about repetition. In psychology, repetitive and rhythmic activities can help regulate the nervous system, create a sense of safety and bring our attention back to the present moment. Pattern-making can become almost meditative: a simple, creative space where there is no pressure to get it “right.”
For many of the children we met, life can be full of stress: at school, at home, in the neighbourhood, within their families. Sitting down and painting one pattern after another can offer a small moment of stillness. Something predictable. Something they can control. A way to slow down.
And that is why we paint patterns.
Watching the kids settle in, paint for hours and create the most beautiful designs moves me every single time. They become completely absorbed in what they are doing. No rush. No expectations. Just colour, lines and patterns.
One girl put it into words perfectly:
“I FEEL IN PEACE, WHEN I PAINT.”
