Backyard Blitz I

In 2008, a team of EWB, CAT and KAC members worked together and successfully completed Backyard Blitz I, which saw the construction of an amenities block and kitchen shelter.  The outcomes from this project go far beyond the built structure with the development of new relationships, skills and knowledge shared between all parties, and a strong shared pride in what was achieved.
