Meeting Purpose: What can we do for this final week?
Date: April 20, 2012
Time: 9am – 11am
Since we were unable to get a media-help workshop going for this meeting we instead took the time to discuss the last steps to take for projects we have been working on and also took time to discuss what we would like to see run differently. Our final meeting will be next Friday and that will be the time to get updates on all of the meetings Dr. Wosinski and Osee had this week as well as to close with suggestions as to what changes should go about to help the executive team run more effectively.

Once again, the…

I came across this provocative article yesterday and I think its spot on. Many times very well-intentioned people who feel compelled to work in development are actually making the problem worse. The article discusses "Tom's Shoes" and the rapper 50 Cent's work, amongst other things. Check it out; I think you will find it interesting......

TESA President Susana Pesis reaches community though radio and finalizes agreement with Canal Rural.
Wednesday, April 6th, Su was interviewed by Radio Palermo's Analía Brodsky about environmental education in argentina, what we lack and where we're going in that arena. She took some very interesting calls from listeners and answered questions varying from the fate of plastic bottles to how best to explain to children about responsible water usage. We are grateful to Analía for the chance to reach the community on such a level, and to Radio Palermo for hosting us.
Friday, April 8th, Antonio…
