OUR MISSIONS
Knowlege Transfer: the essence of our project
ON THE FIELD
Our objective is to learn from others, transfer their expertise to our community and to spread this knowledge as much as we can.
Quito, ECUADOR.
08/10/2020 – 18/10/2020
Maëlle & Anaïs
During this mission, we collaborated with two NGOs: ECUASOL and Trésor de Nature.
Our work with Ecuasol involved teaching children and helping them with their future careers.
This allowed us to better understand the educational challenges posed by the pandemic in developing countries and compare them to developed countries. We also reflected on possible solutions and identified a real need for national and international cooperation and support.
Our work with Trésor de Nature involved assisting the NGO with its agroforestry system (planting, sustainable construction, etc.). We developed a better understanding of the agricultural system in Ecuador and proposed long-term improvements.
Lomé, TOGO.
21/01/2021 – 20/04/2021
Maëlle, Anaïs, Blanche
During this mission, we are collaborating with the NGO A.N.G.E. This NGO welcomes homeless children and provides them with an education.
Our mission aimed to assess the impact of Covid-19 on ANGE and raise awareness through advocacy. Street children are a key issue in Togo. Getting children off the streets is crucial, and ANGE’s operations have been affected by the global pandemic. We are developing a program to assess and address these and future impacts.
We supported the Lomé orphanage center and are helping to develop a new center in Tchekpo. Daily needs include establishing an after-school education program, while also providing entertainment for the children and ensuring their mental health.
Lima, PERU.
20/10/2021 – 28/11/2021
Noe & Maria
After nearly two months with Hilo Rojo, our adventure is coming to an end! We were delighted to interact and grow with the Peruvian “mamas,” courageous women with diverse stories and diverse backgrounds.
Our mission has also expanded as we were able to participate in the children’s education. Although Peru is a land of wonders, there is still much to be done in terms of social development.
For us, the wonder of each mother and child as we introduce them to new perspectives is what we are most proud of and what motivates us every day to give the best of ourselves.
MEXICO, PANAMA
04/11/2021 – 15/12/2021
Jade
After 1,500 km of cycling through Mexico, we finally reach Guatemala!!
After a brief break in the friendly town of Jonuta due to a fever that weakened one of the team members, we set off for the famous Mayan city of Palenque.
False start, two days of cycling, 300 mosquito bites, and a night on a ranch surrounded by pigs later, we are forced to take another break in Palenque. This time, we have something to keep us busy, and we wander through the Mayan ruins in search of hidden Jade Stone(s)…
