2014 Annual Report - Carmen Pampa Fund

2014 Annual Report
From the Founder to the Future
Transforming the lives of Bolivians
through education.
Dear Friends,
This 2014 Annual Report highlights the College’s 20th anniversary year.
Looking back on the past 20 years, we are humbled and inspired
by all that the College in Carmen Pampa has accomplished.
With the imprimatur of Catholic University of Bolivia and the
Diocese of Coroico, Sr. Damon Nolan and local community members literally cleared the side of a mountain with their own hands,
dug a foundation, and laid brick upon brick to build the College.
In January 1994, 54 students enrolled for courses in Agronomy,
Animal Science, and Nursing.
Two decades later, the College’s enrollment hovers around 650
students. It offers undergraduate degrees in five areas of study and
a Pre-University Program to help prepare new students for collegelevel classes. It is recognized as a center for research in the area. It
boasts nearly 500 alumni. The list goes on. (We are including a time
line in this report that marks other impressive milestones.)
Yet, it’s not necessarily the ways in which the UAC-CP has grown
in numbers and size and scope that is most noteworthy. We are
especially proud that the College remains rooted in its founding
mission: to provide a quality education to some of the poorest of
the poor and to empower young Bolivians to respond to the needs
and problems facing their families, communities, and country.
Whenever and however you joined our work during the past 20+
years, know that you make the dream of a college education a
reality for UAC-CP students. You also make it possible for UAC-CP
graduates, inspired by the College’s unique mission, to find or
generate work that contributes to positive social and economic
development in Bolivia. In this report we feature 2013 Agronomy
graduate Hernan Siñani, who is Director of Quality Control for a
cooperative of cocoa farmers and chocolate producers. Hernan is
just one example of the transformative power of education.
As we reflect on all that we’ve accomplished together in the past
20 years, we also recognize that our challenging work continues
and we need your ongoing financial, physical, and spiritual support to make that happen.

Academically accredited by the Catholic University of Bolivia, the UAC-CP
offers undergraduate degrees in five major areas of study: Agronomy, Nursing,
Education, Veterinary Science, and Ecotourism. In addition, the College offers
a semester-long Pre-University Program to prepare young people for collegelevel work.
Graduate Profile: Interview with Hernan Siñani
Hernan Siñani, a 2013 graduate of the UAC-CP’s
Agronomy Department, was born and raised in Oro
Verde, an isolated rural community in Bolivia’s subtropical lowland region known as the Alto Beni.
Since graduating from the College, Hernan has worked
at El Ceibo. Ceibo is a farming cooperative made up of
about 1,300 families that grow organic cocoa and then
transport the fermented and dried bean to the company’s chocolate factory in El Alto, Bolivia.
Tell us a about your work at Ceibo.
I started working at Ceibo during my last semester of
College in February 2010. That year I was in charge of
quality control of cocoa from farmers.
The following year I came to work here at the chocolate
factory in El Alto where I was named the Coordinator
of Quality Control for the processing plant. In this role,
I managed every stage of production — from the primary material to the finished product.
Currently, I’m the Manager of Quality Control. I manage
all of Ceibo’s certifications. We have certain legal
requirements, like the Bolivian government’s sanitary
policies and environmental controls.
I’m most proud that in the past couple months I was
able to help Ceibo become certified for adopting
“I really believe that I’m living out the
mission of the College. I’m proud to work
for a cooperative of organic farmers that
ensures producers fair wages and produces a high quality product.”
globally recognized food quality management practices. These international certifications are really
important for us to have considering the amount of
chocolate we produce for the international export
market.
How did the College prepare you for your job?
My work right now is more business administration,
but I rely a lot on my background as an agronomist
and my knowledge of organic farming.
My thesis project [a UAC-CP graduation requirement]
evaluated four types of legumes to be used as ground
coverings, which serve as organic weed control. My
first year of work, part of my job was to train farmers
about land management and I was excited because I
could share the results of my research with the farmers.
I think the College also prepared me to be a life-long
learner and researcher. Right now I’m working on my
thesis for a master’s degree program in Project Design
and Management. It will nicely complement my
degree from the UAC-CP.
In what ways do you think the College is unique?
The UAC-CP is located in the rural area, which allows
us to be focused on our classes; it’s not like in the city
where students go to class and then go home.
We also have the opportunity to put into practice
everything that we’re learning. I spent a lot of time
working alongside farmers in the area and learning
from them.
Unlike other universities, the UAC-CP is affordable. My
parents did what they could to support me; they often
gave me more than they had to give, but many times
that still wasn’t enough. Thankfully I had a partial
scholarship and I worked every weekend with farmers
in neighboring communities. In the end, that’s how I
could afford to pay for my tuition and food. My parents
are really proud of me because they never imagined
that I would be a college graduate.
Two years after opening, enrollment has more than tripled. 165
students are enrolled for classes.

From the Founder
to the Future:
Making a film about the
power of education
Jerry and Julie Pope, friends and
donors of Carmen Pampa Fund,
traveled to the College in October
2013 to participate in the UAC-CP’s
20th anniversary celebration.
As professional film makers, they
went to Carmen Pampa to make
a short film about the College to
demonstrate the impact of higher
education.
“The UAC-CP is now going through
the transition whereby the institution, founded by Sr. Damon
Nolan, must now sustain itself
without her immediate influence,”
Jerry explained. “With this film, we
wanted to show that the graduates
of the UAC-CP have gone on to lead
very successful lives, and continue
to help many people in the same
way they were helped.”
Jerry and Julie also wanted to feature the newest generation of
graduating scholars — current students who continue to be educated
according to the founding mission
of the College.
“It’s a gift for us to meet these
incredible people,” Jerry said. “It’s a
gift to be able to give voice to their
stories, to share the miracles that
their lives have become because of
Carmen Pampa Fund.”
“I’ve worked in almost a dozen nonprofits,” Julie said. “Although these
are very worthy causes, they have
been unable to create real and lasting change. That’s why the stories
of Lucia and Rene [two graduates
featured in the video] were so powerful to me.”
Rene Villca, one of the College’s first
graduates, shares his emotional story of
how the College changed his life. He’s
pictured wearing a vest from the business he now manages and holding his
college diploma.
Long-time CPF donors, Julie and Jerry
Pope, returned to the College in October
2013 for the 20th anniversary celebration
to make a new video for CPF.
As
college
graduates,
Julie
explained, Lucia and Rene have not
only found good jobs, they also
work in areas that create a better life
for others in their communities. “All
the graduates of the UAC-CP that we
have come to know over the years
have chosen to fulfill their souls and
make their world a better place.”
The twelve-minute film is available to
be viewed online. A link to the film can
be found on CPF’s website at: www.carmenpampafund.org.
Leaving a legacy for the future
CPF donors hope their story inspires others to give
Initially drawn by the College’s focus
on
international
development
in
Latin America, CPF’s first Director of
Development Michael Henley was
impressed by the determination of UAC-CP
students, faculty, and staff during his first
visit to the campus in 1999.
He and his wife Randi Yoder had the same
impression when they traveled to Carmen
Pampa 10 years later to visit their son Ben
who was volunteering at the College.
“We are committed to social change,”
Michael said, “and we see real term
results from what Carmen Pampa is
accomplishing.”
That is why the couple has decided to
include CPF in their planned giving.
“We want to make a difference with our
legacy and the College in Carmen Pampa is
one place where you can certainly do that
with any sized legacy gift.”
They consider their legacy to be a gift to
their two children and future grandchildren. “We want them to know what we
stand for and what we believe in because
leaving our values with our future generation is really important.”
Michael Henley and Randi Yoder want to leave
By sharing their story, Michael and Randi
hope to inspire others to consider CPF in
their planned giving. “It’s just writing a
couple sentences in your will. It’s an easy
way to make a meaningful gift.”
