RPCVSF Peace Corps Week Happy Hour - Learn about TCP Global

Registration is closed

The Colombia Project/TCP Global invites you to a Peace Corps week Poolside-Happy Hour-Update Celebration on Wednesday, March 4^th, 2015 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at 2901 S. Bayshore Drive in Coconut Grove. Free valet parking is available (tip appreciated). RPCVSF members are asked to bring a finger-food appetizer or dessert to share. There will be gazpacho, sangria, wine and light snacks provided. Contact helenedudley@yahoo.com for more information.

The purpose of this event is to encourage additional collaborations between Rotary and RPCVs, strengthen connections with FIU Peace Corps Prep, raise funds for new micro-loan programs like the ones starting in Niger and Guatemala and update Colombia Project supporters.

The Colombia Project was created by RPCVSF in 2000, became independent in 2014 and added TCP Global to provide pro bono assistance to replicate its successful micro-loan model in other countries. Each dollar donated for micro-loans over the last 7 years has already been invested 4 times in Colombia and TCP Global seeks to replicate the program in other countries. This success was made possible thanks to RPCVSF support from 2000-2013. The TCP Global team hopes that RPCVSF members will come to the event to better understand what your support has meant to marginalized entrepreneurs in Colombia and learn about TCP Global’s plans to create sustainable loan programs in additional countries, possibly even in your Peace Corps country of service.
