Drury SIFE team travels to Bolivia

The team arrived in Bolivia, South America’s poorest country, this week, attempting to improve lives by teaching and demonstrating the concepts of free enterprise and business ethics.

Project Leader Chris Clutter is traveling on behalf of Project Helping Hands, an Oregon-based medical mission organization. He will meet the country’s minister of finance to discuss priorities and areas where help from the Drury students is most needed.

Meetings also are scheduled with the leaders of nine different villages in order to implement more localized programs, including the water filtration system the team introduced in Zambia.

“I believe this project will help broaden the perspective of Third-World life by giving Bolivian citizens the resources to establish a much-needed middle class,” Clutter said in a news release. “I have hopes that this humanitarian business mission will become a model for other missions to even more Third World countries.”
