Seeing the success and positive result of the first workcamp, NICE (Never-ending International workCamp Exchange) suggested IPPA to form a workcamp organization. The suggestion was followed by an invitation for NVDA (Network for Voluntary Development in Asia) meeting in Hanoi, Vietnam at 9 - 22 January 2000. In 22 January we have been registered as the NVDA member. The meeting discussed about about how to run a workcamp and everything about it. The meeting was exactly going in the same time with the second general assembly of NVDA members as IIWC of IPPA.

Then the value are non discriminative (ethnic, religion, voluntary services, solidarity).
