My name is Matthew C Johnson, and I am with the Fort Collins Rotary evening group. I am organizing a large service project in partnership with Rotary District 4690 in Bolivia. We are using the climbing and trekking industry to drive sustainable development (employment, food access, medical care, education, social empowerment) in poor Aymara villages near the Cordillera Real mountains. We have several local Bolivian partners assisting in this effort, as well as US-based academics and international alpinists. If there are any members who may be interested in using their love of the mountains to change lives in poor indigenous villages, I would love to talk with them about the various ways they could serve. This is a large project and we need a lot of help. I can be reached on my cell at+1-619-990-4249 and at m.johnson@sustainableascents.
