Second wave – Team 2
This week started with less energy than the previous one because our first thought when we got at the youth center was: ‘ oh no! scratching the walls again ‘. We kind of struggled with the walls for almost 2 weeks. Lucky us, 2 volunteers came and helped us! One of them is a nice […]

Week 3 – Team 3
Everyday in this week, we got home, dirty, tired, pieces of wall in our hair. Our legs, hands and feet covered in cement.
