U.S.-Bolivia Success Story May End
By Michael Casey
December 20, 2006

Excerpt: "For centuries, subsistence farming was the norm in this rubble-strewn valley in southern Bolivia, where a mineral-rich geology has produced a spectacular, multicolored landscape but poor soil. Now, after four years of aid by Food for the Hungry International, a Christian development group whose funding comes mostly from the U.S. government, the farmers have been transformed into budding entrepreneurs. The result: The average income for Tomoyo's 2,000 inhabitants has leapt to $1,069 a year from $287 in 2002."
