Hey Camilla @camilla! I was at Inflamable for a meeting at community center Sembrando Juntos last Tuesday. After a few exchanges with Nick @shapiro.nick I was eager to listen to them, what they are asking for, what they need. In our willingness to help, we might sometimes oversee that their reality is very dire and that our ideas and solutions are not always a perfect fit. For instance a future free of fossil fuels is way behind the need to raise their children in a safe and healthy environment! So we need to be careful in what kind of project we propose, and how we can actually adapt it so we can really help! Anyway, after a few hours of conversation over some mates, we came to these conclusions:
What we can offer
- Aerosolar flight and meteorology workshops
- Aerosolar ballon building workshops
- Futuros Posibles literary and audiovisual creation workshop
- Pollution monitor building workshop
- A mobile library to take around town
What they expressed as their needs
- A projector
- A minivan
- Attention from policy makers and media
- Pollution monitoring
So in this precise point about our idea of a mobile library and their need of a minivan I see a clear example of different needs and mindsets. Both ideas are great! We just need to see how to work it out together. @Aerox > I did remember your words on our Slack channel 
In any case it seems there are many things that we can continue working together and most importantly we have a positive relationship with Claudia, Eze and Rocío, who are respected community members and always open to new ideas.
Sidenote, an Aerocene community member brought a drone and in little time we made a photogrammetry of half Villa Inflamable’s territory. We are hoping these maps will allow many NGO’s better assess infrastructure and environmental problems. Have a look on this link.
