After three long days of working on our restoration project at the local community center in Koswak, it is safe to say it was a very fulfilling process for everyone involved. Seeing the determination and grit brought to the table made the final product that much more valuable. It was amazing to witness and be a part of the team working together in order to accomplish a common goal. After we finished, it was incredible to also witness the reaction of the community on the work we had done, as it was very rewarding and brought a deep sense of gratitude.
