Camille: “I liked discovering an issue like deforestation in Zambia, but especially the fact of becoming an ambassador for this cause to the entire Maramba community.”
My name is Camille and I’m 23 years old. I volunteered at EcoGreen Foundation from May to July 2017. Today I still consider myself a member of the EcoGreen association because I help the association remotely with specific missions. F…
Nicolas: “I started a fundraising campaign that made it possible to make the plaster, the floor, the windows, the painting and the doors.”
