Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)

     So today we went to the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). They're a public sector/bank that's partially owned by 48 countries. The U.S. owns 30%. Countries put money in to help development specifically in Latin American Countries and the Caribbean.
     The 2 people we met with, Fabian and Eliana from Buenos Aires, work with youth and help young social entrepreneurs worldwide. They pointed out that 60% of people in Latin America are youth (ages 15-30). Through working with youth in different countries, they help development there and alot of countries really like their successful young people being recognized. IDB sends out a newsletter every month reaching a wide network talking about what youth are doing in the world.
    Fabian and Eliana talked with us alot about what they do and it sounds amazing. We asked a lot of questions too. It was awesome to be able to go there. The IDB is amazing. You can see more about them here: http://www.iadb.org/

This is a video they told us to watch when someone asked about international girls education which is made by their partner nike:
The Girl Effect
   It's very powerful, you should watch it.

After meeting with them, I starting to think about making my organization more international, as opposed to what I was thinking before. But I still really don't know.
