A Thunderbird School of Global Management field study found a four fold drop in immigration from areas in Mexico that benefited from rural community development programs. Thus, an indirect result of Tia’s program efforts encourage people to remain in their home communities and invest in the future of Mexico
Greetings! My name is Efrain Diaz, and I will be serving as Fundraising Intern for spring 2010. Upon entering Thunderbird as a Master’s candidate in Global Affairs and Management in the fall of 2009, I became acquainted with the Tia Foundation and was immediately impressed by their efforts to create sustainable health strategies in rural Mexico. I was especially moved by their work in my family’s hometown of Guadalajara. I am greatly looking forward to this new experience and hope to contribute to the success of the organization!
Hola Efrain, de donde es tu familia?
Senor Lazcano,
Gracias por su comentario y perdoneme por mi tardanza. La familia de mi padre vive en Zapopan. Cuando era nino, fui muchas veces a visitarlos.
