To support our growth into the future, the year 2006 will be dedicated to renovating our infrastructure.
As the groups we are hosting become larger, we are aware that we spend more and more time on arranging basic needs for sleeping, sanitation and keeping dry. By improving this in a focussed, joint effort, we will have more time next years on developing the program.
In this way we can create an environment capable of supporting the reconciliation work we are engaged in, increasing Eko Center Latinovac’s capacity
for being of service in this post war region of the Balkans.
...before... Check out the list below if you can help us to find/bring with you any stuff we need ...
Different groups and individuals will come to help in building - please use email / phone / pigeon to tell us when you will be there!
