On Monday, longtime Mano a Mano volunteer Mark Petzoldt was honored with a 3M Gives Volunteer Award for his work with Mano a Mano – one of 30 3M employees around the world to receive this recognition.

We were happy to take part in the event; our Executive Director Dan Narr and co-founder Joan Velasquez were in attendance, along with Mano a Mano volunteers and representatives from our counterpart organization Mano a Mano Bolivia.

Congratulations Mark! We are so grateful for all of your time and effort over the past nearly two decades!
