It's all about the details at the Nicolás Fund for Education school campus! 🏫 🎓 Our team in Guatemala is working hard to make sure that nothing is overlooked as this project gets closer to the finish line. Check out the latest progress on the plumbing, the tiling, the bathroom sinks, and the electrical! 💡 There's been a lot of great work on a lot of different tasks, and we want to give a shout-out to the crew for their diligence and attention to detail. 👏 To help us construct buildings like this, which create opportunities now and for generations to come, visit the BGF website: https://1l.ink/8W4CZK3

A volunteer group from Martin Horn recently traveled to the site of our school-building project in partnership with Limitless Horizons Ixil! 🌅 Jack Horn, who is serving as the volunteer project manager, got a group together to get the ball rolling on the steel fabrication process. Their trip was a great success -- by the end of it, they had installed the first roof truss! 🏫 This group's expertise helped to jumpstart the welding, and the crew in Guatemala has been keeping up the momentum ever since. Many thanks to Jack, Even, and Noah for volunteering their time and skills. 👏
