| Introduction | Mir Pace introduces teen volunteers to poverty and its tragic effects on populations worldwide and strives to help them discover the profound and positive impact they can make in service to others. We target populations who have been forgotten and left behind by international, state, and local agencies, and who are incapable of improving their life situation without external assistance. Some of our service programs include nutrition intervention; clean water harvesting and sanitation systems; building and home construction and repairs; educational initiatives, assisting local communities in building strong organizations that can promote self-sufficiency, and we also assist in establishing artisan collaboratives that increase incomes for craftspeople, while preserving the cultural traditions that distinguish each country and its people. Our proudest achievement has been to ignite a spirit of volunteerism in our teen volunteers that is now being carried on into their adult lives. Since 1999, Mir Pace has been working along side the people of The Bolivar Peninsula, TX, Bosnia and Herzegovina, El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, and Tanzania. |
