I had a very fun time meeting new people everyday, and I felt that we were able to connect with each other in such a short amount of time, but I bonded the most with my "family".

In just one day, you can change a family’s life in the most profound way. You can give them shelter, security, and perhaps more importantly—you could give them hope. Corazon’s “Build a House in a Day” program takes a group of 40-50 dedicated volunteers into the marginalized communities of Tijuana and Tecate and builds an eligible family a home, all in just one day!
