Sustainable Projects DO Help Communities Abroad
Volunteer work abroad is impactful when the organization works in partnership with the community. Collaborating with the community means they are involved in choosing the purpose of the project and developing a long term plan so that it is sustained. Empowering communities through sustainable community development efforts helps to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
