Alcance Social is here!

During the last week of September 2006, 15 trainees from 11 different countries and 10 Colombian interns arrived to Bogota in order to attend the opening week of Alcance Social, project organized by AIESEC In Colombia and the Division of the Colombian Government for the Forced Displacement People (Acción Social). This week is useful for the intern's preparation on the topic since during the next 4 months they will be working with the social re-integration process developed by Acción Social and a psychological job with the affected people. Congratulations to the ones who accepted the challenge and are now working in their assigned cities, every city where AIESEC is present in Colombia: Barranquilla, Bogotá, Cali, Medellín, Pereira, Manizales, Bucaramanga, Santa Marta, Cartagena and Armenia.
