Sustainability Without Borders partners with Comunidad

Posted December 2, 2014 @ 6:58pm | by Melanie

Fundacíon Comunidad board members just did an Andean road trip with a group of five professors/students from The University of Michigan. The foundation's focus and the U's sustainability-without-borders project was a perfect fit! We lived in the communities for a week, closely evaluating our six schools, 350 lunch program, libraries and spent time with all nine scholarship students. Our foundation base and relationships of fifteen years offered the U of M the ability to form daily focus groups that addressed the concerns of the communities. Issues from climate change, renewable energy, recycling, water quality, farm chemicals and dreams for their children were talked about in-depth. This relationship promises to be a boost for Comunidad!
