OFFER OF MISSIONS (or internship) IN MOROCCO (2019)

30 VOLUNTEERS Presentation of the project’s coordinating structure:

YanAnga aims to promote intercultural exchanges and international solidarity in France, Morocco and most broadly all over Europe. In order to reach its goals, our structure organizes all kinds of activities which could encourage closeness between peoples, carries out local and international development projects, and works for solidarity tourism.
