In July 2008, the non profit organization, International Relief Friendship Foundation took 20 volunteers to San Juan Del Alto, Peru to build a multi-purpose meeting hall and community playground. IRFF’s goal in building these amenities was to help promote a system of sustainable democracy within the community, which had specifically identified their need for a place to hold town hall meetings. The volunteers came from the United States, England, and Peru.
