United Nations

Yesterday was an incredible day: we had a visit from the Resident Coordinator of the United Nations in Bolivia, Ms. Yoriko Yasukawa. She came to see the College and offer support from the many organizations that function under the umbrella of the UN, including the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, UNICEF and many others.

Ms. Yasukawa offered to support the College with materials for our libraries, and send professionals from the different programs to speak at the College. She also agreed to help us contact other organizations that could support the College.

Thank you, United Nations!

With so many distessing stories in the news today, it must have been a relief for a UN official to visit such a vibrant place as the UAC at Carmen Pampa!
