In order to look back together on 50 years spent with and for people, we have involved all those who have known AVSI and have travelled together with us, even for a short while: we invited everyone to send us a photo of a special moment lived with us.
Shots of missions on the ground, projects visited, meetings with staff and local communities: all these snapshots will compose a big album of AVSI's history, portraying fifty years of tangible presence on the field – “feet in the mud” – in the most forgotten places in the world.
