ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½

David Robinson, the son of baseball icon Jackie Robinson, traveled from his home on a coffee cooperative in Tanzania to visit Minnesota September 22-24 to talk about his work with ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½. Robinson, who has lived in Tanzania for more than 30 years, participated earlier this year in a walk across Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania, led by BFA Founder Tom Warth to raise money, deliver books and help end the book famine in ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½.

As part of ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½â€™s ongoing monitoring and evaluation process, an enhanced post-shipment survey was developed for fiscal year 2016.  This direct feedback from recipients allows BFA to identify success points of our current programs, and helps pinpoint where we can improve our process to create the best possible outcomes for recipients.

David Robinson, son of baseball legend Jackie Robinson, was interviewed during ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½ Night at Target Field in Minneapolis before throwing out the ceremonial first pitch,  He discusses his partnership with ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½, and what it meant to grow up as the son of Jackie Robinson. 

Robinson, a social activist, businessman and coffee farmer who has lived in Tanzania for more than three decades, is in town this week to volunteer for ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½
