Support for the launching of a new association

During the Nice assembly, meetings were held between the president of the new Mozambique group and other volunteers. A more thorough exchange was born between a Mexican volunteer and the starting group.
She went to Mozambique for several weeks, in the framework of volunteer training, based on AIC identity, guidelines, AIC work methods, work through small projects, spreading AIC documents...
The report of the Mozambique president, Lidia Marques, is part of the creation of new groups, after the training visit much appreciated by volunteers.

At present, a process of twinning is being set up between the Mozambique association and a Portuguese language association, in Brazil. The exchange will be mostly focused on the sending of training documents translated into Portuguese, Portuguese newsletters, exchanges of field experiences…

Positive points of this twinning :

• Co-responsibility really taking place : awareness that the starting of a new group can be taken on by anyone
  
• AIC is a big family and language is not an obstacle.
  
• AIC is a place of exchanges of experiences, skills, information and training.
  
• All parties are enriched : three different cultures bringing their specific riches : Mexico, the Brazilian volunteers and the Mozambique volunteers.
