Against the backdrop of arid Mexican terrain, environment volunteer in Mexico Ilana Hirschfeld stands confidently beside a towering concrete water cistern that transformed this community's access to clean water. Her warm smile radiates pride and satisfaction as she poses with one hand on her hip, wearing a burgundy and black plaid flannel over a fitted gray top, her dark curly hair catching the natural light.
