Romania 2024 Team

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. Nancy Slocum was the team leader and looked after the final organizing, logistics and in country build activities. The final team consisted on 18 members – 11 from USA, 6 from Canada and 1 from Sweden. I was not able to get photos of all the team members, my apologies for those I missed.
The team photo before starting work on the first day. Team members (and the interpreter for the first day) have yellow hard hats, the red hard hats are Fuller…
