A group of high school students from the East Bay have built a mobile rest station kiosk for farmworkers seeking a break during the hot days out in the fields.
"It's something that is needed in, I think, all fields in the area, a place to store belongings, where to drink water, hydration packs, a place to rest when it's really hot," Peña said. "I think our hope with all of our projects is that we make a meaningful difference in the lives that really need to be lifted in some way," said Chris Walsh, the director of the Jean Hofmann Center for Innovation at Carondelet.Step by step, students like Sofia Florez worked together throughout this last school year to create what they believe is very much needed.
