How Matters / What’s missing from the DIY aid debate? Overlooking the Capacity of Local NGOs
http://www.how-matters.org/2010/11/08/missing-from-diy-aid-debate

Purdue Farmer to Farmer Costa Rica. March 28, 2011. Posted by purdueftfcostarica under Uncategorized. Greetings from the Daviess County Extension Office! Our team is steadily matriculating back to Indiana. Ed and I arrived on Saturday evening at about 7:00 pm. I’ve got to admit, it was quite a shock. When we left Dallas on our connecting flight, it was 80 F with clear skies and warm sunshine. Two hours later, it was 32 F and cloudy. I anticipate that things will settle back into a routine, as much as the...

Purdue Farmer to Farmer Costa Rica. May 23, 2012. The fun stuff…. Posted by purdueftfcostarica under Uncategorized. International travel is always full of adventure, and our Costa Rica trip was no different. If you recall, I took along my family. While 2 toddlers, international flights, tropical bugs, unknown sanitary conditions, snakes, oceans, new cuisine… might seem like a recipe for disaster, it turned out to be a truly enjoyable adventure! 6 Emmet making rooster noises, howler monkey calls, and ridi...
