The project will utilise all the online and offline channels to disseminate the impact of our activities to the world.

Through this well designed collaboration of supporting and hosting organisations, our 36 volunteers in the HAND project will be part of this transformation process project as the first generation of the ESC Humanitarian Aid Program.
