COME JOIN US FOR THE LAST EESG DISCUSSION OF THE SEMESTER!
WHAT: Meet the founder of Villages in Partnership - Malawi
WHEN: Friday 12:15 - 1:30pm May 4, 2012
WHERE: 1113 Van Munching Hall
WHO: EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN US! (Please forward to any interested parties)
I am excited to announce that we have a very special guest at the EESG seminar this Friday. The founder of Villages in Partnership - Malawi will be joining us to share her experience working in Africa. Liz Heinzel-Nelson has spent the past few years working in Malawi to help transform a life of poverty to sustainable communities. She is excited to share her experiences with us and hopes to reach out to UMD students and faculty that would be interested in joining her cause.
Villages In Partnership is a non-profit development organization working in Malawi, Africa. VIP works hand in hand with the people of Sakata, a region of 21 villages in Southern Malawi. VIP seeks to develop partnerships between "villages" in the USA with the villages in Sakata to lift people out of extreme poverty. Extreme poverty is crushing and complicated. To make a lasting sustainable change in the lives of the people demands an inter-disciplined approach to development. VIP, through it's partnerships, strategizes with the villagers on how to bring about transformation for the entire area through simultaneously attacking the causes of poverty. VIP is approaching University of Maryland to see if together we might forge a partnership to transform lives, one village at a time. http://www.villagesinpartnership.org/need.php
We look forward to seeing you at our discussion!
