I have volunteered with this project for two years before it became incorporated, and I continue to be very active as a board member and volunteer in the village. When I first visited the village three years ago it changed the way I thought about poverty, humans' place in nature, biodiversity, and what I could do to help the people whom I met in the village of La Libertad.
The project's goals of helping the village by assisting them in all areas with developing sustainable business is admirable. I believe this model helps the volunteers to have the most impact with the resources that are available.
We have had volunteers who have had life-changing experiences while in the village. We hope to be able to share incredible positive experiences with all who help support our cause.
