Since I finished University in 2003, I had a dream to work in International Cooperation, and finally, so many years later, here I am in La Paz, Bolivia after a year in Thies, Senegal, and another one in beautiful Lake Atitlan, in Guatemala.
Most of my adult life, I lived and worked in Montreal, Canada and before that I was in Cordoba, Argentina.
Passionate about protecting and studying nature, I worked in Environmental Education for 10 years in Quebec before starting as a volunteer for CECI.
My objectives here in 2018 are to help develop more eco friendly techniques and to integrate women and youth in the milk production of the La Paz area in Bolivia.
I will like to share this great opportunity, the animals, the people and the places that I will discover in this charming place.
