Global Village Brigade in Santa Fe

Between October 13 and 19, Global Village volunteers from the United States and Canada joined the Santa Fe Developing Neighborhoods project, an HPHA partnership with ACDI, to participate in construction tasks in Villa del Parque and Barranquita Sur neighborhoods.

The volunteers were welcomed with much joy and enthusiasm by the community. During the week, significant progress was made on the Ibáñez-Benavídez Seed House and on the Grismado-Rojas Progressive improvements. “We are very happy because it was a week of much activity working together with the families which are part of this project”, says Joaquin Lichter, Global Village Project Manager with HPHA.

In addition to working with the families, the volunteer group participated in neighborhood activities including maintenance and upkeep of the community garden and repair of chairs, doors, furniture and other items and materials.
