Thanks to our partners at Daryl Upsall Consulting International, based in Madrid, we have launched a wonderful initiative to bring the Benevon Model to Spain. On January 23, 2007, Terry Axelrod presented the Benevon Introductory Session (simultaneously translated by Miryam Delgado) to what was purported to be the second largest gathering of Spanish NGOs ever. Spain is flourishing economically and many feel that the time is right to bring the Benevon Model to this country of bright, effusive, generous people. In attendance were sixty people representing the twenty-nine most prestigious international NGOs with offices in Spain, including Cruz Roja (the Red Cross—our hosts for the session), UNICEF, Greenpeace, Save the Children, and Doctors of the World.
As a result, We are proud to announce that we will be offering our first Benevon 101 Workshop in Madrid on May 7–8, 2007. This will be translated into Spanish, again thanks to our Spanish partners. Furthermore, to ensure the smoothest possible cultural translation of the model, any Spanish group that comes to the workshop will receive extensive additional on-site consulting from our Spanish partners. We expect wonderful results!
One other wonderful by-product of this event is that we now offer a Spanish-subtitled version of our free online seventeen-minute video, which is available on our Web site.
