Last week our Bolivia staff put on an INCREDIBLE show. They hosted the 3rd Annual Ascend Bolivia Gala. It was a wild success. We are so proud of what they were able to accomplish.
Fundraising dinners and auctions aren't very typical in Santa Cruz where ours was held but this one was a raging success. Thank in large part to our staff in Bolivia (and the AMAZING band Las Kjarkas) guests of the gala had an amazing dinner, participated in a live auction and then danced the night away. The Bolivian team was able to raise enough funds to cover a substancial percentage of their administrative expenses this year. We this it is amazing that as they are teaching local communities and people about sustainability and self sufficiency they are working on improving in those same arenas. It won't be long before Bolivia looks to our headquarters office as a place for advice and guidance and not a funding source. We wish them all the best in that goal.
Now, enjoy some pictures of the show.
