Feedback & Keys to Success
How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
Although we did not directly receive or used BAW – DANA materials, we produced our own materials. But the fact that we have already grown sufficiently, makes this experience of donation and generosity, simply wonderful! From three years old to ninety years old, the people participate with great enthusiasm!
Please share any suggestions or lessons learned that may help others plan future events:
I think that working together in networks of volunteers is great. Protagonists have been from High School students to Professors. The most enthusiastic are usually the youngest , but a combination of several ages is wonderful because the attendees to all the events is a variety of public, particularly in public places, where sometimes families, altogether, appear with different queries or necessities.
