The Service aims to encourage people to be involved in solving common needs, and to dedicate themselves to the development of genuine human communities through a constant process of awareness, participation and sharing.
The participation process is intended to facilitate the promotion of understanding, mutual aid, respect and social integration among groups and in the community. |
