MEMORIAL DAY PARADE
It was a lovely day for a parade on Memorial Day in Westport!
The B3 group marched through downtown Westport waving the US, Ecuador and Guatemalan flags, while handing out our new "glow in the dark" wristbands. B3 proudly showcased a new banner and boards representing several of the projects that B3 has sponsored over the years.
Of course, the highlight of the morning was the AMAZING breakfast at the Riggio’s house after the parade.

MEET THE B3 INTERN
Every year local high schools offer an internship program to their seniors for the last month of the school year. This year our B3 intern, from Staples High School, is
Anja Gubitz!
Anja is a 4 year senior and is an Advisory Board representative and Student Advisor for the Rock-It! Team, as well as a B3 Ambassador, and Amigo.
Anja joined B3 for the experience and enticing projects, and stayed for the amazing food! For Anja, all four years have been unique and full of excitement.
She is graduating from Staples High School this year and plans to attend the University of St. Andrews in Scotland this fall.
We appreciate all that Anja has contributed to B3 and wish her the best of luck in her future adventures.
ROTARY GRANT
Builders Beyond Borders was honored to receive a 2022 Community Grant from the Westport Rotary Club.
Community Grants are a result of the funds raised from the Westport Rotary Club’s annual Lobster Fest fundraiser.
The Rotary Club of Westport has a long history of helping others in the local community and the world. The Westport Rotary honors the rotary motto of "Service above Self" by supporting many deserving organizations through Community Grants.
B3 is proud to be among the organizations aided by the Westport Rotary Club and is very grateful for the continued support!
PEOPLE OF B3
Last month, Builders Beyond Borders hosted a party to thank sponsors, supporters,
advisors and the parents of 4-Year Senior students. All of those in attendance have
contributed their time, talent, and treasure to ensure that B3 continues its mission to Build A Better World. 
One of the highlights of the evening was the recognition of the milestone years of service of our volunteer advisors and team leaders.

The 10 year honorees include: Ayelet Gat – former B3 student and current Estrellón Team Advisor, Liz Mauer – former B3 student and current Rock-It! Team Leader, Henry Potter – former B3 student and former C-4 Team Advisor, Linleigh Smith – former B3 student and current Rock-It! Team Advisor, and Lisa Wolak – former Estrellon Team Leader and current member of the Board of Directors.
Each of the honorees received a brick engraved with their name and years of service.These bricks and photo collages are currently on display at the B3 office. Check them out the next time you stop by the office!
The party was sponsored by the B3 Board of Directors with the Bodega food truck providing dinner and chocolates from Le Rouge Chocolates by Aaarti .
Congratulations to all of the honorees and to all of you who have supported B3 this
