Community Projects
A community project is a work site where the efforts of the whole group of volunteers are concentrated; this type of projects take place few hours a day/ a week or the whole time of the program depending of the objectives and money placed for them in each program. Every year, we run a participatory diagnostic (with the members of the host communities) to identify their needs (of the host communities), needs that can be achieved in a short time and with a limited budget. Our community projects strive to achieve an interactive experience and to develop a better understanding of different community dynamics and increasing cultural understanding.
