Rosario Andrada de Quispe, Argentina
In 1995 Rosario and 8 other women founded the association Warmi Sayajsunqo, which means “persistent women”. The objective of the association was to help develop the possibility of living in the Puna region with dignity and according to the Kolla culture. They founded the Kolla Bank, managed and maintained by more than 70 indigenous communities. The Bank has become an example of efficiency and transparency, and currently serves more than 3000 associated families which use the bank’s microloans to fund their initiatives and microenterprises. http://bbconference.pbwiki.com/Bridge+Builders

university courses / credits
All courses are university level, taught in English, and fully accredited. Each course is worth 3 US/Canadian semester credits. Credits are jointly granted by Viator Foundation and Fasta University, in the form of a transcript showing the number of earned credits, the course level, and grades for each course.
It is recommended that students make arrangements for the transfer of credits with the appropriate official at their universities before leaving their home countries.
Faculty
International experienced professors teach Viator’s leadership courses; 2008 program will have Professor Guillermo Cogorno and Professor Juan Gabriel Ravasi as mains courses teachers. The Viator faculty and staff help students feel completely at ease. Professors are kind and approachable. A certain degree of informality and a readiness to share cross-cultural experiences are basic to Viator's perspective.
