Mariasofia Toraldo from Italy is going to India today with our ESC Humanitarian Aid Volunteering project “HAND” of EPEKA, which is the coordinator and the sending organisation. Mariasofia will work on increasing disaster preparedness, rapid response and recovery capacities in disaster-prone areas at local level in Puri, Odisha in her 9-month long volunteering activity that our Indian partner, Orissa State Volunteers and Social Workers Association (OSVSWA) will be hosting. She will also take tasks on the projects and activities for capacity building in the OSVSWA Office. We wish Mariasofia good luck in all these assignments.
