We wish to encourage young people to socially interact, regardless to their differences, thus inspire local volunteers and young people to devote to community services.

« I would recommend participating in a workcamp, especially with VAP, who ensured that I found a project to suit me and provided essential training for me in preparation for my trip. Being part of a workcamp really is a life-changing experience, oh, and it looks great on your CV! »
