Fundacao's London Meeting With Fellowship
Fundacao Estudar in Brazil is almost twenty years old: it is well known within the Fellowship that this was part of Fred Packard's inspiration for the Rank Fellowship, a logical way to build on many years of Foundation Leadership Awards. Close links continue with the Fundacao and it was a great pleasure to welcome Thais Junquera, the Administrator of Fundacao, to London recently. David McCausland, who attended the Fundacao's AGM in Sao Paulo in 2006, was instrumental in hosting an excellent meeting at which the adminstrators of the Fellowship and Fundacao could share ideas.
Our picture shows David and Thais, along with Tim Young of the Fellowship and Daniela Barone Soares. Daniela is a Fundacao alumna and a member of the Fellowship's Steering Committee: she is also the Chief Executive of Impetus, a remarkable pioneer in venture philanthropy. This was a very valuable meeting and one which strengthened the links between Fundacao and the Fellowship: we wish Thais a delightful stay in the UK.
