July 15 – Business and Faith Dialogue
As business leaders who integrate their faith into the workplace, you won't want to miss the MEDA Paraguay and MEDA North America conference seminar on July 15 – a dialogue on business and faith with other business people and pastors. More conference information.
July 14 and 16 – 1-day MEDA project tours
To see MEDA's faith in action, conference goers also have the choice of two tours to local projects:
Tour 1 on July 14 will take you to the CODIPSA I and II plant, which produces starch from cassava roots, and to visit small farmers who cultivate the plant.
Tour 2, July 16, looks to new MEDA projects – the construction of a CODIPSA III factory to produce tapioca starch and the site of an ERPAR factory being built for the production of ethanol from sugar cane. You will also visit the farms of some of the small local producers.
To sign up for either tour contact MEDA Paraguay.
