Proyecto Libertad  currently has 5 staff members coming from Colombia, Mexico, Norway, & U.S.A.

We live community style at the mission, eating our meals together and sharing common living space such as living room, kitchen and bathrooms.  Most long term staff members share a room with one other person and our visiting teams sleep in dorms with bunk-beds.  We do have electricity although power outages are not uncommon.  There is no running water or city plumbing on the island so we take showers «bucket style» and flush our toilets with sea water from the bay.  We do have internet service although it can be pretty slow at times.  There are small stores on the island where you can buy the basics but we usually do our grocery shopping once every two weeks in the city and bring it out by boat.  It is a blessing to live in the midst of the community where we serve!
