Life with the Locals
... cool makeshift versions. It was cool that we built them at the base too because it meant more workers would come over after work to play pickup games and hang out with volunteers. As for teams, it was pretty much rigged though. Elvis, who actually owns the whole base, as well as the jeepney that takes us to work and multicab that's used at the work site (basically everything other than the land we build the houses on and the materials), had a stacked team.
