cluding teachers, government

three parts The first two

lowed hv five months of travel
or work in the designated coun
try or countries. I.ast year .1
group of seven participants
helped to plant 200.000 seed
lings for an agro-forestry pro
ject in the Maputo province of
Mozambique. This year the
IlCD will work with Architects
and Planners in Solidarity with
Nicaragua in a hospital wing
construction project in Mati

Matagalpa, Nicaragua.
The final two-month segment
