On the radio!

Last March, radio producer Susan Cahill, from a program called "Different Voices" in Ireland, spent a week in Bolivia to create a show about food security and coca in Bolivia. Ms. Cahill was guided by our visiting scholar Kyle Piispanen, who appears on the show, as well as our very own Sister Jean Morrissey and a student at the College!

The show highlights the College's efforts to reduce poverty through education.

The show was posted July 20th as "More Than They Can Chew" here:

(Mention of the College, with Sister Jean and our student, starts at minute 12:45, and Kyle Piispanen at minute 37:50.)

Give it a listen!

In the news

The College was highlighted in the on-line newspaper GlobalPost today, as part of a year-long series on global education. The author, John Enders, visited the College last December, on recommendation of long-time supporter Jorge Crespo, a former Bolivian Ambassador to the U.S., and good friend of the College.

The reporter John Enders has been reporting in the Americas for over 30 years, and we were happy to host him for a day. Here he is with young men from the pre-university program last year.
