Romania Fuller Center for Housing - Build Day 5

Jucu de Sus, Romania – 2024. The Fuller Center for Housing of Cluj Romania, partnering with a Romanian charity, Association ACASA, builds housing in Jucu de Sus, a village not far from Cluj-Napoca. I was with a team of 18 volunteers on a weeklong build. Day 5 at the worksite was a continuation of much of the prior work and a final wrap-up with some speeches and certificate presentations. The weather in the morning was cold and very windy and it didn’t get much better into the afternoon so nobody wanted to do a lot of work.
