Gracias a Adrian!

We said goodbye to long-term volunteer Adrian Palenchar this week.  He started working at the project in October. In 4 months time, he accomplished so much. Upon arriving, he immediately began teaching the class and bonding with the students.  He rebuilt the roof of the greenhouse with Nick Willard (volunteer from Canada), help to build terraces for an outdoor garden, collected hundreds of discarded plastic bottles and transformed them into planters to grow vegetables, successfully fundraised for various projects, stuccoed the interior walls of the school, rebuilt the Helping Hands website and so much more.  Adrian's time, love and dedication has made a lasting impact on the lives of many.  He will truly be missed.  Gracias amigo y feliz viaje.
