BUSY ACROSS AMERICA

Over the course of April and May, Maranatha volunteers have been very active across the United States. In rural Wyoming, work continued on a dinosaur research station for Southwestern Adventist University. Volunteers served on a project in April, and then again in May, where they painted and stained the building, and paneled the walls, along with other tasks. While there are still a bit more details to be completed on the project, the month of June welcomed participants with the university’s annual dig to use the new field station for the first time.

From mid-April to early May, more than 100 volunteers worked on various renovations at Camp Wakonda in Wisconsin, while 55 served at Camp MiVoden in northern Idaho. In southern Idaho, around 25 volunteers started a project at a residential center for at-risk youth called Project Patch, working on siding, flooring, and painting.

Throughout the spring, a small group of volunteers worked at the Kayenta Seventh-day Adventist Church, in Arizona, to construct a brand new school. The entire twoclassroom building was completed in nearly 60 days, thanks to a small group of dedicated volunteers and pre-fabricated sections of the building that were constructed by teen volunteers on Ultimate Workout in 2021. The school will soon open for kindergarten through second grade to provide quality Christian education to the people of the Navajo Nation who live here.

The summer calendar was also busy in the U.S., as Maranatha put on projects at Milo Adventist Academy
