DGLP would like to apologize to any members of the Dartmouth community who we may have offended with our previous blitz ad. We are a small organization that is continually learning, and as so, we sincerely appreciate the feedback we have received. We have since taken steps to address many of the concerns that were brought to our attention, and we hope to communicate our goal and purpose more accurately in the future. Thank you again for your feedback and understanding. *********************************************************************************** Don't know what to do with your topside money? Please DONATE to the DGLP Supplies Drive! We need: Bar soap Toothpaste Toothbrushes Nail clippers Combs Washcloths Loofah/Bath sponges Sanitary pads Thermometers The products will be donated to a clinic in El Rosario, Honduras that has requested DGLP's assistance in gathering supplies.

Drop something off on your way out! *********************************************************************************** The Dartmouth Global Leadership Program is a student-run program that sends Dartmouth students on spring break projects to Vermont, Texas, and Honduras. DGLP selects a group of students from different academic backgrounds to work directly with our community partners-under resourced high schools in low-income areas with whom we've been working for the past three years. Each year, we continue to build our relationship with these communities by gaining an understanding of their needs and then working together with the community to develop a plan of action. The goal of the Spring Break Project to Honduras, La Fuerza para el Futuro, is to guide and support the leadership development of a cadre of teens from eight rural villages. The entire project team will be onsite in Honduras during the March interim break, working with the teens to develop locally identified skills needed to become regional leaders. This year, we hope to focus on developing specialized skills so that these teens can become the backbone of support for the library and regional education center. Established village leaders will be involved in every step of deciding how to run the library and center. Our goal is to help make the center compelling to the teens, encourage them to become involved, and help them establish a region-wide web of leaders they can rely on.
