Our Fundraiser Specialist Renzo Cozzarelli participated as a Public Relations Manager for an event in Barranquilla, Colombia in 2015. The main goal was to get Sponsors to make the event sustainable and to raise money to be invested in local Social Projects that had participation of more than 50 foreign trainees of 14+ countries. AIESEC is an NGO that promotes the development of Human Kind potential through experiences where people participate as volunteers in local Social Projects. The Global Village is a cultural exposure of the volunteers that is open to the community with the objective of teaching about other cultures and with that create an understanding between them. Another objective is to raise money for the local projects, housing of the volunteers and other operational costs of AIESEC.
The 2015 version was financially succesful, we covered all costs and generated an income of USD 1050 (COP $4.500.000), built alliances with with local companies, radio stations and government. The attendance has been one of the largest of this event with approx. 950 people.
