TechnoServe Tri-fold Brochure: Global Advisory Council

“I VERY MUCH ENJOY SUPPORTING TechoServe and participating in the GAC. It connects me with a great organization which addresses issues in a way which helps people to improve their living standards themselves. The recent trip to Chile was again a fantastic experience….

Visiting projects took me to places I would never see as a tourist; it showed me the real world and situations of the local people.”
