A member of Milton’s Class of 1999, Sarah Role, has recently been selected as the 2007-2008 Fulbright Fellow to Paraguay. Sarah will research sustainable agriculture and development in collaboration with the Paraguayan Development Foundation (Fundacion Paraguaya), Paraguay’s leading microfinance institute. Sarah will work with Fundacion Paraguaya to further develop its pilot “self-sufficient organic farm school,” a model aimed at bringing free agricultural education to low-income rural youth throughout the developing world. Sarah was invited to Paraguay by the director of Fundacion Paraguay, Martin Burt, a world-renowned social entrepreneur who has served as both Vice Minister of Commerce of Paraguay and Mayor of the capital city of Asuncion.
