Work: Theme: Construction of a community center for development and for listening This project targets the construction of a building for the administration of projects and the development of the region around. This building will allow meetings to be held and development education to be organized for the element of the national patrimony. A building will also allow the organization of tourism on the site of FIATOE which is full of traces of cultural material which led to the idea of classing it as an element of the national patrimony. Work to be done -Clean up the site (eliminate plants, root up trees…); -Make cinder blocks; -Build a wall ( masonry ): - Search for water; - Search for sand; -search for wood and planks. -protection and promotion of the community forest

Accomodation and food: Volunteers will be accommodated in a house (local not modern) setting available by villagers. At DIGUI KOPE there is no electricity. The toilet and shower are traditional. Some villagers use the solar panels to charge devices like lamps and FAGAD does. Mattresses are provided by FAGAD each volunteer. Food is Togolese, African, European and often through. What is certain, foods on our sites are appreciated by the volunteers. Everything is done by volunteers themselves. They are often helped by the population.
