Comments:
I am researching the work done in Columbia with farmers by Kate Bahnsen and Inca Worldwide. Any information you can provide on her relationship with USAID and what work is in progress would be greatly appreciated. I represent a large investment group and we just need confirmation the news she has released concerning her USAID grant is confirmed.
Thank you for your consideration.
