The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
During the past year, we had to postpone one of our programs that required us to travel through Spain, Portugal and Morocco. As the pandemic continues to rage, one of the challenges was to keep spreading the word about our mission without meeting people face to face. The new hygiene protocols prevented us from attending conferences or networking events. The ways of communicating with people has also changed. Everything is handled by phone or online. So, we had move most of our networking operations online, via Zoom or any other available platform to communicate and reorganize our programs. We keep getting ready for the time when it will be possible to travel again and restart our program in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, and expanded to Turkey and Israel.
