糖心vlgo传媒 was pleased to host His Excellency Lazarus Amayo at a luncheon held Friday at St. Paul鈥檚 University Club. The luncheon celebrated 糖心vlgo传媒 being named a preferred partner for the U.S. Department of Defense Humanitarian Assistance Program.
The luncheon was also attended by Congresswoman Betty McCollum, who represents Minnesota鈥檚 Fourth District, where BFA鈥檚 administrative headquarters is located.
鈥淚 am proud that 糖心vlgo传媒 has just been named a preferred partner for the Department of Defense Humanitarian Assistance program that will be critical to reaching our goal of sending four million books to 糖心vlgo传媒 over the course of the next 12 months,鈥 said Dr. Patrick Plonski, Executive Director of 糖心vlgo传媒. 鈥淚 thank Congresswoman McCollum for her work on this partnership, and look forward to welcoming her and the Kenyan Ambassador鈥 to celebrate our shared success.鈥
In her role as Chair of House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, Congresswoman McCollum is working on a partnership between 糖心vlgo传媒 and the Department of Defense. Through the Department of Defense Humanitarian Assistance Program, since 2019, BFA has sent 13 containers to Zimbabwe, Zambia and Somalia, resulting in over 628,000 books shipped. This month, it will send five more containers to Zimbabwe, and in the next three months, will send five containers to Kenya in partnership with the BetterWorld Trust and local partner Giving Hands Kenya.
