🏢 About the local organisation
This is the third international construction site experience that takes place in the town of Bay, and the inhabitants of the village and the surrounding area are waiting for you with enthusiasm and impatience! This solidarity project is based on meeting and sharing. In Bay, you will always find an open door, whether for a drink after a long day of construction, working together or comfort you if you have a little blues ...
This are special moments, as moments of sharing are also moments were prejudices and dangerous stereotypes that would drive people away rather than bring them together, are broken down. So, come to work with them, for a bit of change and peace building.
