Carúpano is present in the Venezuela Tierra de Cacao Project
At the beginning of August, Alejandro Marius, president of AC Trabajo y Persona, visited the city of Carúpano with the purpose of establishing alliances with Cecal Fe y Alegría, for the courses to be given within the framework of the Venezuela Tierra de Cacao project. The meeting was propitious to meet with allies who could possibly be joining the program as trainers.
The tour also included a visit to Fundación San José, a strategic ally of Trabajo y Persona in Paria, which promotes the development of the region and its citizens through culture, work, and values. The regional visit culminated with a working table with Rio Cacao, a laboratory school located in Rio Caribe, created by Cacao de Origen and Posada Caribana with the support of partners and UNDP.
