Paint Rollers at the Ready in Rolle!
The beautiful and historic Rolle Castle in Switzerland offered a majestic setting for a very vibrant COLORFUL COMMUNITIESTM activity this summer!
Our employee volunteers repainted an outer park building in this Swiss heritage site of national significance and adorned it with a mural. Not to mention the fresh coat of paint given to the newly installed playground equipment. They also painted a colorful hopscotch board to a pathway in the park.
