Workcamp

We partner with African Great Lakes Initiative each year to host a workcamp, where volunteers from the United States and Burundi work together to make improvements around the clinic.  An overview of all AGLI workcamps, along with frequently asked questions, is available on the AGLI website.

Below are some pictures from the workcamps the last two years.

At the workcamp, people of whatever age, ethnicity or origin work together, sharing physical labor (2008):

It’s not all work though — here’s Chris leading some neighborhood kids in a dance (2007):

Workcampers also participate in an Alternatives to Violence Project training at the clinic.  Here are the workcampers together with the trainers.
