Members of the Boys and Girls Club of San Benito are seen Wednesday inside a playhouse built by cadets of the Cameron County Juvenile Justice Department Home Construction Program. Seen with the kids are CCJJD Chief Executive Officer Tommy Ramirez along with the club’s Interim Chief Professional Officer, Veronica Cantu.

The Boys and Girls Club of San Benito ended its summer program with a talent show and a party on Wednesday, August 14.

The party didn’t end there, however, as the Cameron County Juvenile Justice Department Home Construction Program presented a playhouse constructed by cadets to the club.

“We started the home construction program about seven years ago,” said CCJJD Chief Executive Officer Tommy Ramirez.
