Ecuador Mi País (EMiP) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in August 2005 as an initiative of Ecuadorian professionals living in the Washington D.C. area, USA, that felt a desire to contribute to the social and economic development of their country. Its founders felt the most effective way to collaborate towards the development of the country was by supporting educational projects targeted to low-income groups. Since its origin, the organization has sponsored more than 100 students. EMiP is a registered 501(c)(3) organization operated and directed by volunteers. It was legally incorporated in the District of Columbia (D.C.) in June 2006. EMiP was conceived to promote equal opportunities and to facilitate access to education for underprivileged children and adolescents in Ecuador, regardless of gender and ethnicity. The organization has affiliates in states of the United States of America, and also in Spain, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom, countries that have concentrations of Ecuadorian immigrants. ==Organization== Its members also organize fund-raising events to celebrate national festivities and promote Ecuadorian culture. EMiP costs are less than 10% of revenues. The majority of Ecuadorians that volunteer for the organization reside in the United States of America. The organization has partnered with Ecuadorian and international organizations in Washington D.C. such as the Ecuadorian Embassy in Washington D.C., Grupo FARO, Symphony for Life -Ecuador, the Association of Ecuadorian Ladies in Washington D.C. (ADEW Ecuador), ''Federación de Entidades Ecuatorianas en el Exterior'' (FEDEE), Young2Young Community of the ''World Bank'', Young Connection of the ''Inter-American Development Bank'', and Centro Argentino (CEGA). These partnerships are sought to develop new ways to contribute to development projects and to work with the D.C. metro area community. One of EMiP's projects was selected as a finalist at the 2008 World Bank Remittances Fair, held in Bolivia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ecuador Mi Pais」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
