Thank you to the eight volunteers from Wells Fargo who joined us for a Build Day at Oshara Village. The crew spent the day making mud mortar and laying adobe bricks for a yard wall at one of the duplexes. Despite the hot day, the volunteers stayed positive, determined, and eager to get their hands dirty. Their efficient teamwork brought the duplex one step closer to completion for the partner families.
