Global Architecture Brigades at Penn
May 2015 Build Brigade
​
This summer we went on our first Brigade to the small town of El TomatÃn, Honduras. Nine Penn students, along with one student from USC and four from Boston University traveled to Honduras to build a community food bank so that El TomatÃn could begin trading with other communities and begin to grow economically. We had an amazing opportunity to work with community members when building this bank and even got to spend our final day teaching the children about architecture. See below for some pictures of our trip's highlights.
