HI there, I also see that HOT has to do with developing countries to help prevent problems as well. I can tell you about my experience in community building in kosovo, where I am right now organizing the fourth edition of the sfk conference. I have some slides online on this topic, that I presented at zagreb. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1M_FFDVPsKzQ6Z6nCr2D1MkM5iZHqov60NrR9XMYiSFM/present#slide=id.p
