I´m Abril from Mexico City, I´m working in Alternativas y Capacidades, a civil society organization that was founded in 2002  to contribute to Mexico’s social development, by strengthening civil society organizations and grant makers, working towards a favorable environment for their professionalization, promoting their advocacy capacities and encouraging inter-sectoral collaboration.

 
I came to England to meet the CiviCRM community  and to learn more about the software,  because in Alternativas we believe that CiviCRM is a powerful tool that can support the work of many organizations in Mexico. In my country there’s almost nobody implementing CiviCRM and we would like to spread all the knowledge of the trip with other Mexican organizations.
 
It’s almost last day in the Booksprint. It has been such a pleasure to work with all these wonderful people. CiviCRM community is an amazing group working to empower civil society organizations around the world. 
 
Today we were working hard to improve the documentation of CiviCRM, the format of the manual: Understanding CiviCRM: A Comprehensive Guide, including the sections on CiviEmail, CiviReport, CiviCase, CiviEngage and the functionality for Grants (that hadn’t been documented before).
 
The CiviCRM Developer Guide and CiviCRM for Human Rights Organizations are almost done!
 
It’s very inspiring for me to meet this group, and to contribute with the community, and also to be part of the development of CiviCRM Human Rights Guide.
 
Looking forward to share all this knowledge and learning with my colleagues and with civil society organizations in Mexico!
