It’s beautiful how the event connects people of all ages—children, families, and adults—with the traditional craft of adobe brick making. The takeaways are incredibly meaningful:

• Tangible Achievement: Bringing home their own brick and a certificate of achievement provides a lasting memory.
• Intangible Value: Gaining a “sense of pride and understanding of their sense of place” is a powerful outcome, deepening their connection to Mesilla and its history.

The volunteers’ commitment, from building and set-up to hauling water and educating under the sun, is what makes this inspiring mission possible. They are truly acting as stewards of the past to inspire future generations.
