🏢 About the local organisation

This project is actively working for SDGs 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), organized together with Green Volunteers for Green Future (GV4GF) since 2012 (for the first time in this place!). GV4GF is a NGO to promote voluntary service, environmental protection and improve rural life.
