As part of the event, Mano a Mano’s co-founders Joan and Segundo Velasquez talked about how Mano a Mano started and the growth we have experienced over the 20 years, moving from Joan and Segundo’s basement and backyard to now having our own office/warehouse space in St. Paul, in addition to our huge growth of our programs in Bolivia.
