Jun 18 2009



I met Juan Carlos Pirir ( Melvin) who had come from Guatemala to attend conferences and meetings in Canada with Jaques Carriere- The program Director for Latin America and Carribean. He has been with CUSO now CUSO-VSO since 1988. A wealth of knowledge and trilingual. He speaks to me about the work in the region in Spanish, French and English for you trilinual people out there. From work on the environment to youth CUSO-VSO, its volunteers and partners like Melvin truly are making a diffrence.
