 The first semester of 2010 is proving to be a great semester for work in the community, and international and local volunteers are strengthening a number of local programs with their time and talents. Programs benefitting from AEC-TEA volunteer service include a day care center for small children, a government program for at-risk youth, a center for adults with mental disabilities, and an agricultural cooperative.
The activities performed at these projects are varied and depend on the volunteers, but include everything from playing games to art and dance to cleaning and packaging agricultural products - especially the famous licuri nut, common in the region. Best of all, good work done by our international volunteers has encourageed some local volunteers to get involved as well, and local musicians can now be found entertaining the disabled.
AEC-TEA would like to thank its volunteers for showing so much initiative this semester, and we hope that the partnerships this semester will continue to strengthen and get more local volunteers involved in our projects.
