Our work in Guiara
AMIGOS will return to the department of Guaira in 2013 for the first time since the 1990's. This project will be an expansion upon AMIGOS's long-standing partnership with Plan Paraguay. Plan Paraguay directly involves AMIGOS Volunteers and Project Staff in their ongoing community development efforts. Specifically, AMIGOS Volunteers work to complement Plan’s activities by fostering local youth participation in educational activities and to raise awareness about the rights of children. AMIGOS Volunteers work to with local youth and community members to carry out the following activities:
I. Community Service: Collaborate with community members in the implementation of small-scale community initiatives (e.g. building a community library, repainting a school, or organizing a cultural festival).
II. Extracurricular activities: Facilitate a variety of games and lessons for children and organize community fairs focused on the environment.
III. Environmental Projects: Organize and plant family gardens and trees to support reforestation.
