Latest Update from the Field
First achievements of Childrens´ Land
By AMICHOCÓ - AMICHOCÓ, May 25, 2009 11:53 AM
This methodology has already been implemented successfully in other countries, and the results we had so far make stronger our belief on its long term contribution. Our goal is to expand this same program to other regions of the Chocó Bioregion, and your contribution may be the key we need to make it real.
Thank you for your interest in our project, we appreciate any feedback and suggestions you may have to improve it.
