eyes and shovels set on winning the prestigious Golden Bucket Award. Firms<br />

duties. On the day of the event the teams, stretched along the beach front,<br />

Traditional Castle, Best Architectural Icon, Kidtastic! - Disney Edition, Best<br />
Cinematic, Best Meme and Houston-centric as well as best team t-shirt design,<br />
best team signage, best costume and public favorite. At the end of the day,<br />

sand and sun. For more information, visit www.aiahouston.org.<br />

in inner city youth. During this time, he watched with horror as a Syrian<br />
war escalated and the refugee crisis reached unimaginable proportions.<br />

of Syrians have been displaced from their homes, and their country. The<br />
subjects come from all walks of life and now are engaged in everything from<br />
teaching art classes to volunteering as museum docents to conducting a<br />
