The IPPs of 2010, Almeria, Spain

The IPPs of 2010


In 2010 there are CISV International People´s Projects in Colombia, USA, Spain, Brazil, Finland, Germany, Mozambique, and Egypt. Each project has been created by a local CISV chapter in co-operation with a partner organization to meet a community need. Each project brings together CISV volunteer staff and participants from around the world. In this blog you will find a day-to-day reports of our work, descriptions of our experiences, thoughts and expectations.

We hope you enjoy the words and images and will understand that through projects like these ordinary people can take action and make the world a better place. (Are we optimists? Yes we are - and we are proud of it!) Perhaps this blog will even inspire you - gentle reader - to take action yourself.

Spain's IPP: Patera

Spain's IPP: Patera
Illegal immigrants from Africa cram into small boats - called patera in Spanish - to reach the coast of Spain. If successful, many are trapped in a system of low-wage day labour in the greenhouses of the Almeria region. This system is the topic of Spain's 2010 IPP.
