What’s The 5 + 2 Project?

A Project whose main target is holistic community development through the use and optimization of resources, knowledge, and capabilities of a group of locals.

Why “5 + 2”?

The story of the feeding of the multitude:

And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food." But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat." And they said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish." He said, "Bring them here to Me." Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children. (Matthew 14:14-21)

The disciples only had 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, which were multiplied by Jesus, and the crowd was fed.
The 5 loaves of bread and the 2 fish didn’t suddenly appear. Someone had them and they were multiplied by Jesus.
