On the Path to Bi-National Nonprofit Collaboration

In pursuit of cross border donation and environmental education for children, SSE executive director Sue Prelozni and Board Director Charlie Copelan met with the Director of Comite Binacional Unidos por la Ninez, Adolfo Delgado.
One of the goals of the coalition is to facilitate the movement of donated items from the US to Mexico. The organizations plan to acquire and share warehouse space near Otay.
The Comite Binacional is a joint venture with non-profits Bibliotecas Hermanas, Read a Book, Surrendered Ministries, Hilarious Givers and Humanitarian Cruz Verde BC.
Director Delgado said, "It just makes sense to collaborate as our missions and goals are very similar."
"This was the first of several meetings to come," Prelozni added.
Stay tuned for the progress report!
