The best pictures of the month March
Every year, Oxfam Novib publishes a calendar with beautiful, narrative photos from the countries where the organization is active. The cameras of Local Dreamers are of slightly lower quality, the photographers without training, but the pictures are no less beautiful and impressive. We have put the most beautiful photos of March in a serie, take a look at the pictures of our our flea market, the minga in La Arcadia, the new sports complex in Canoa and more..
These photos take you along the colorful streets, alongside people with wonderful life stories, and let you meet in word and image with our vibrant volunteer work and life! For more pictures of our projects and volunteers, take a look at our Flickr page.

Last month we organized a minga, the Ecuadorian term for community work, in La Arcadia. With all the volunteers we painted the Casa Barrial of the neighborhood, the place where we will train with our Soccer School during the rainy season.

Also in March we organized a flea market at our office. To promote the market, our volunteers decided to paint faces at the fruit market in Camal. A big success!

After the heavy earthquake in 2016 we were able to set up many nice initiatives thanks to a wonderful crowdfunding campaign. One was the construction of a new sports complex in Canoa, one of the places hit the hardest. Now, almost two years later, these new heroes are putting the finishing touches to the new field.

With this big group of volunteers, we said goodbye to our Spanish teacher Vladimir in the beginning of March. What a great evening it was..
