DESCRIPTION:In February and March program directors of International Development 
 Exchange (IDEX)  traveled to Africa, Asia and Latin America to visit the 
 communities where our partners work to compile stories and acquire images 
 of the amazing work being done at the grassroots. Please join us to hear 
 these stories and how those in the developing world are coping and 
 persevering in these times of political and economic instability.\n\nKisha 
 Montgomery, Africa Program Director, will share stories of progress and 
 development occurring in Zimbabwe despite the current socio-economic and 
 political crisis. Balu Iyer, Asia Program Director, will give voice to 
 those participating in the micro-credit programs of IDEX partners in 
 Bangladesh, India and the Philippines. Yael Falicov, Latin America Program 
 Director, will share the ways in which poor women in Guatemala are 
 organizing for change in the face of economic globalization policies that 
 threaten to undermine the fabric of local communities.\n\nEach program 
 director will give a general overview of the work being done at the 
 grassroots in their region and illustrate their stories through slide 
 shows.  A Q&A session will follow their presentations.\n\nA $5 - 20 
 donation requested.  No one turned away for lack of funds.  Event is 
 wheelchair accessible.\n \nTo RSVP, please email Heather Mansfield, IDEX 
 Outreach Director, at heather@idex.org.\n\n
