Founded a non-profit charity working in Guatemala for 15 years. We started by building schools in Mayan villages -57 buildings, and learned that was not the best way to break the cycle of poverty. Now we develop nutrition & health education videos & materials to share with NGOs, provide water filters and vented stoves, and support bio-fortified corn research... Also sell jewelry and handicrafts that help women earn an income from home. My career path - clinical dietitian, hospital food service management, flight attendant, social entrepreneur...
