Students from School 12 perform a traditional Moldovan dance during the ribbon cutting for the newly renovated school in Chisinau, Moldova. The students performed the dance as a show of gratitude to the 435th Air Ground Operations Wing’s Construction and Training Squadron, which sent Airmen to perform renovations on four restrooms, two locker rooms and two shower rooms in the school to make them functional and safe to use again.
