Mano a Mano: Creating Partnerships to Improve Lives
Mano a Mano was founded in 1994 by Segundo and Joan Velasquez to collect and distribute surplus medical supplies from Minnesota to health care providers in Bolivia who lacked basic supplies. It has since grown into a network of four independent non-profit organizations in both the US and Bolivia that work together to improve health and economic conditions in impoverished Bolivian communities through building clinics, schools, roads, and water projects while also providing medical training and supplies, emergency air rescue, and economic development programs. The organizations operate using a partnership model where communities request and contribute to projects which are implemented and supported through collaboration between Mano a Mano, municipal governments, and community members.

3 Events, 3 Successful Projects in Bolivia
On April 20, 2013 Mano a Mano hosted its 4th annual Festival Bolivia event. The focus of the event was to support Mano a Mano's distribution program to ship donated surplus supplies from the US to support our projects in Bolivia, as well as to recognize our local heroes.
In our first 3 years, Mano a Mano was able to complete 3 new projects thanks to the support of Festival Bolivia attendees.

Demonstration and Training Center Update_Mid-March 2013
Update on some of the activities going on at the Demonstration and Training Center now that much of the initial construction has been completed.
Demonstration and Training Center Update_Mid-Feb 2013
The document summarizes the construction of a greenhouse and various agricultural activities at a demonstration and training center project. It describes the 7 steps to construct the greenhouse, including measuring and digging holes, building the structure, placing and fastening the plastic covering, and constructing and placing the door. It also discusses planting crops and trees after fertilizing and preparing beds, constructing ponds, and planting various vegetables in the shaded area. The center now has more to show visitors regarding agro-ecological activities.
Demonstration Center Update - January 2013
Mano a Mano is currently working on a demonstration and training center in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The project has 2 primary goals: 1) ensure that subsistence farmers attain maximum benefits from water projects that Mano a Mano completes in partnership with them; and 2) increase the organization’s capacity to implement successful agricultural water projects over the long term.
The past month's work has focused on preparing and planting the gardens, which will be used to teach Bolivian farmers best methods to grow, harvest, and process their crops.
Mano a Mano's School Supplies Program
The document outlines several humanitarian aid and infrastructure projects taking place in Bolivia including constructing new clinics, hospitals, bathrooms, and roads. It also discusses providing emergency air transportation, building water reservoirs, and collecting and shipping medical supplies to Bolivia with the help of volunteers. The document encourages donations of supplies and money to support helping children through education in Bolivia.
Building and Equipping Schools
Mano a Mano works in Bolivia to improve education for children and their families. Bolivia has a population of over 10 million people and suffers from extreme poverty, with families earning less than $1 per day. Mano a Mano constructs new schools and provides furniture for students, as most rural schools are in poor condition without books or desks. They also supply students with school materials and hygiene products to help children in need.
Mano a Mano Aviation Program
This organization provides air transport services to support rural healthcare in Bolivia. They conduct emergency medical evacuations, weekend medical clinics in isolated areas, and traveling health education classes. In 2010, they conducted 22 weekend clinics serving over 15,000 patients, evacuated 384 emergency patients, flew 502 hours total, and transported food and supplies to support various humanitarian programs throughout Bolivia.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
