Program Details
As a community organization we expect to work closely with world packers to create community impact through our organization. Not a requirement for volunteers but as an organization we struggle with financial resources to sustain our work thus any world packer willing to support or community work financially is also accepted. This support us to initiate sustainable projects for the organization.
