Their dedicated Community Liaison Officer, who comes from the region, is passionate about helping others and understands the challenges faced by villages and how they can best be addressed. His role is to actively guide the projects supported by Earth Lodge. It is the art of offering a helping hand rather than a handout, maintaining a balance that results in skill and pride being the beautiful outcome.
