I wish you all the best with these projects. Munsieville will change your live, it is an amazing place with amazing people. I worked there last year as a PULSE volunteer and was with the 1st EHS team on the ground. It is amazing what a difference you will make in only 2 weeks! Good luck and enjoy! Carola Michielsen
