If we all come together, we can help Latin American people - and ourselves - reach our highest potential

Latin America stretches from the warm tropical waters of the Caribbean to windswept islands near Antarctica. There is a wide range of races, languages, religious beliefs, conflicts and needs. With a wealth of natural resources and cultures, Latin America has great potential.

Below you'll find links to many different websites and organizations working for social justice, development and understanding in Latin America.

Association for Progressive Communications
       "To empower and support organizations, social movements and individuals through information and communication technologies. To build strategic communities and initiatives for the purpose of making meaningful contributions to human development, social justice, participatory democracies and sustainable societies."
