Welcome

Thanks for visiting our blog. You may have seen our short film, Our Fellow Americans, which describes what Magis Americas does and who we work with. If not, you can find it on the right-hand menu bar of this page.

This blog is a record of our journey to three countries in Latin America to make that movie. Between March 1st and March 11th 2008, three of our staff visited partner organizations and numerous schools to learn about their work so we could present it to the North American public. Everywhere we went we met amazing individuals doing inspiring and important work, and we'd like to share our experience with you.

Please read on! You can read each daily entry by clicking on "Older posts" below.

(Note: the names you'll read most frequently are Bruce Schearer, CEO of Magis Americas, Fernando Spiritto, Special Liaison from Centro Magis in Caracas, Patrick Flynn, our videographer hired by Birds Nest Productions, and me, Carolyn O'Neil, Executive Assistant and Program Coordinator for Magis Americas).
