Review for Foundation for Sustainable Development, Oakland, CA, USA
FSD is a fantastic organization that has given me the opportunity to be part of sustainable development in the field through hands-on experience. In Bolivia, we work with over 35 NGO's in Cochabamba who are dedicated to various development areas such as human/women's rights, environment and natural resources, microfinance, education, and public health. Through FSD, I have gained greater perspective on the hardwork involved in getting development projects up and running. I am a Bolivian volunteer and I work with 2 others to support the organization´s activities with local NGO's in Bolivia.
