Recent changes within Ojalá (January 2012)
After years of organizing activities, information evenings and direct actions, Ojala is currently functioning more as an informal network of activists than as an organization. If you are interested in organizing an activity related to solidarity, social movements and/or Latin America, do not hesitate to contact us or become part of the network through our Facebook page: Fundación Ojalá.
Ojalá hasta pronto!
