Wonderful charity with wonderful people
April 29, 2020by: Georgie Campbell - United KingdomProgram: Multi-Project Volunteer at a Peruvian NGOThe time I spent working with Otra Cosa Network was an extremely rewarding experience, this is truly a charity that has the best interests of the community at heart.
