FROM MY PREVIOUS POSTS you have learnt that here in Chimbote there is a non-profit organization called "Los Amigos Del Padre Juan" which is faith-based and whose main goal is to improve and transform the lives of the poor of Chimbote - Perú. Members of the Board of Directors of this organization are from differents places of the United States and Perú and they regularly have meetings both in the US and Perú to coordinate new work efforts for the social well-being of the residents of Chimbote, specially the poor's.
Whitin this framework is that November 9-14, 2009 Mr. Earl Milbrath from Chanhassen, MN, USA, (one of the members of "Los Amigos Del Padre Juan" Board of Directors), was visiting Chimbote together with other American people even its Executive Director, Ms. Susan Trnka from Fargo, ND, USA was here as well. Mr. Earl Milbrath is an Officer, Board Member and Chair of Economic Development Council (EDC) of "Los Amigos Del Padre Juan" but is also Board Member of Chanhassen Rotary Foundation; he is doing a great job by canalizing resources for CHOI.
Among his many activities Mr. Earl fulfilled here in Chimbote it was included a meeting at Fr. Jack's Parish with beneficiares of CHOI's educational programs "Dollars for Scholar" and "Leaders for Tomorrow" (who are presently studying at Higher Studies Centers thanks to support of this programs) and its coordinators Mr. Rafael Armas, Mr. Orlando Bermúdez and Mr. Carlos Alayo. Through Christian principles, the EDC has as mission to contribute to community development and it is indeed doing through CHOI.
The EDC has a strong partnership with Rotary Clubs in Minnesota-USA and Chimbote-Perú, and with St. Michael's Parish in Prior Lake, MN and Mr. Earl is a catalyst element for the good work in favor of the needy to continue running. You may contact him at: emilbrath@traveladvisorsintl.com
