A community-based approach
Volunteers are welcomed into the community but maintain independence in daily work
The community encourages dialogue, cultural respect, teamwork, and autonomy
Volunteers are asked to avoid paternalism or “charity” that may undermine dignity
No financial contribution is required, but many offer a donation to the community
FundEO may provide support; travel costs are the volunteer’s responsibility
