Foreign and local lectors have made these possible, and for that reason, we\u2019re thankful.<br \/>\nOutdoor activities, such as assisting people in need and children, have offered to all of us an emotional rollercoaster that was a powerful statement for our volunteers, that doing good rewards us in so many ways that the experience becomes priceless.<br \/>\nOur 17 months program, about the 17 Goals established by the United Nations, continues to be developed every month, matching awareness campaigns and small projects while trying to leave none of the goals behind.<br \/>\nWhen skilled, passionate individuals join forces toward sustainable development goals, everyone wins.<br \/>\nThanks to the large number of applicants that we have had, we can now finally proceed into a new phase of our program and implement volunteer positions, each one thought according to the skills and the talents we\u2019ve come across. To mention only a few of them there are: Advocacy, Communication, Artistic Work &amp; Crafting Positions, Office positions, Translator, Research positions, Event planning, Docent positions and more to come.<br \/>\nSplit by their own roles, each group of volunteers will have a team leader, responsible for its teammates, who will get directions and guidance from our Coordinator for the projects and tasks to undertake.<br \/>\nWe will broadcast progress regularly, thus stay tuned since we will also have pertinent materials to share.
