Every week Sparrow organizes an open office in barangay Lazareto. The goal of this open office is to be in the center of life in the barangay, enabling Sparrow to see what is happening here from nearby, in which areas possible new projects can be set up and to receive feedback on existing Sparrow projects. It is a meeting place as well, where the people of the barangay can meet, drink a cup of coffee or ask for prayer.

The open office is situated in Sparrow’s wooden cottage, which is on the beach in the poorest part of the barangay. The houses are made of thin wooden boards and/or leaves and there is no running water, electricity and sewerage.
