AVSI-USA hosted a festive evening cocktail at the Embassy of Italy in Washington D.C. to celebrate half a century of preserving and upholding the dignity of local communities in 39 countries worldwide.
On April 18, 2022, a group of individual private donors, as well as their family members and a few AVSI-USA staff, set out on a “Come & See” trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, to visit the Crecemos DIJO Center. The trip was a long time coming. It was originally scheduled for October 2020. Now, 18 months later, it was finally happening. Yet, after two years in a world substantially changed by the pandemic, some of us couldn’t help but wonder if we should be taking this trip at all.
