Dios los bendiga por esta oportunidad que brindan de ayudar a fundaciones y paises como el de nosotros que tiene tanta problematica en la ninez, en las mujeres y los ancianos, trabajamos con nuestra fundacion FIRES en prevencion de drogodependencia para ninos, maltrato intrafamiliar y con el grupo de la tercera edad, pero aqui en nuestra poblacion es muy dificil hacer el trabajo por que los recursos casi siempre son canalizados hacia las mismas personas y nos ha tocado trabajar en colegios, comunas y barrios casi gratis, pero realmente es muy dificil trabajar asi.

The CTB has helped me a lot when I was working as adviser to the Lae City government in Papua New Guinea. I used the materials in training the local leadership of the six districts to develop their plans and projects to develop their communities. Right now I'd like to use it here in Berlin, Germany. I'll see if it will also work out good here. Indeed the CTB has improved and it is now easier to navigate. Thank you.
