Despite a horrific rainstorm and an electricity outage for two days, a group of volunteers from Golder Associates managed to prepare a children’s home and build a jungle gym for children in Bulembu, Swaziland.

The construction superintendent for Bulembu said, “This is the best playground EVER and we are so happy that Golder’s people took the time to come and visit our community and help us make a difference in the lives of the children of Swaziland.”

 The Golder volunteers will be heading home over the next few days and giving presentations in their local offices about their trips.
