For my Global Citizen Year community project, fellow Fellow Camille LeBlanc and I are planning to build a garden in the backyard of Bagunçaço, a youth cultural center in Salvador. Watch this video to learn more about our idea in promoting environmental awareness and health consciousness and to hear why one young man who frequents Bagunçaço wants to be involved in the project.
