THE DANCE FOR TOLERANCE

AlvarAlice brought several groups of young at risk youth from various gangs in Cali Colombia to come together in AlvarAlice's dance program.

MICROFINANCE SYMPOSIUM

The Foundation is organizing with the assistance of other foundations and NGO's the Microfinance Symposium on January 22, 2009 to be held in Cali Colombia.

The main objective of this event is to explore how microfinance can serve as a tool to promote peace and stability for victims of conflict and poverty alike. Innovative and sound public policies are needed to support the successful operation and expansion of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in conflict-ridden societies like Colombia and other developing nations.
