Our 5-member assessment team recently returned from our first assessment trip to El Toro, Argentina – an exciting milestone! We do know that the community has significant challenges and we are focusing on projects that will lead to long term benefits for the community.
We are hoping that our next travel will be an implementation trip this upcoming Spring/Summer. We are excited not only for the near term prospects for what this project will do for this community, but for the enthusiasm it brings to our memberships as a whole.
In order to raise funds for the project, we have an ongoing year-end fundraiser – “Building a Better World, One Donation at a Time”, which will provide funds to move forward with this community! Our goal is to raise $12,000 total and the first $3,300 will be matched from Greenehorne & O’Mara. So far we have raised a total of $4,200.

Note: The campus map on the link is current, but the construction occaisionally reroutes traffic. Where the signs say Student Parking, they really mean everyone. Probably best to avoid the areas that say Faculty and Staff Parking. Lots 8, 9, and 10 are the easiest access to the SE building (away from the construction).
