- Projects will be designed for the specific needs of each group depending on the size of the group, the time that they can stay here, the amount of money the group has to invest in a project and the preference of the area they would like to work in. Most of the groups prefer to spend half the time working in the Kindergarten or summer camp and the other half on Community Development.
