Exchanges & Delegations

Due to the success that we have had with the rural La Paz community, we are excited and passionate to share what we have learned with other Salvadoran communities. Through these exchanges and delegations, we are actively working with other organizations and communities to share what we have learned, what has or has not worked, and hope to motivate others to create a better life for themselves.

Los Hoyos in Cabanas

Thanks to the effort and dedication put in by each of the participants of the Farming for the Future Program, today, they are a reference for other communities who aim to start their own programs!

Our sister foundation, CIS, was instrumental in organizing this exchange.

13 students and professors from Sheridan Community College in Sheridan, Wyoming visited the Los Tehuistes communities as part of the TRIO program.

They were led by Professor Joseph Aguierre and Rafael Jose Escoto. During their time, they volunteered to help with projects around the community.
