What is Minga? - "palabra quechua que significa construcción colectiva."

Minga entails a collaborative work system that dates back to the Incas. It refers to the commitment, contract, or work agreement between two or more people. The word minga also stands for meeting or reunion.

The word minga has continued to evolve in that direction. Nowadays, in South America, it refers to community work or works among friends when they need help from each other. In addition to this, mangas usually include a feast to celebrate collaboration and hard work.
