It’s about making sure our programs aren't just well-written, but are genuinely felt and needed by those we serve."

Pelatihan ini merupakan titik balik karena memberikan alat-alat sistematis yang kami butuhkan untuk benar-benar mendengarkan, menganalisis, dan mengintegrasikan pengalaman hidup masyarakat ke dalam perencanaan kami. Ini tentang memastikan program-program kami tidak hanya ditulis dengan baik, tetapi benar-benar dirasakan dan dibutuhkan oleh mereka yang kami layani."

If not now, when will we save our planet?"
