This review is from: Llamas, Weavings, and Organic Chocolate: Multicultural Grassroots Development in the Andes and Amazon of Bolivia (Paperback)
The intimate travel details and encounters with prospective project developers in Bolivia are revealed in this book. You read about the many projects that the IAF has sponsored, successful at times and not, it is great to know that these projects have been throughly researched by IAF employees.
It makes you feel good to see U.S. dollars go into super positive grassroots projects.
The projects included in this book are diverse and very intriguing. Highly recommended!

This is a valuable set of case studies on development projects that actually benefit the grassroots. Although set in Bolivia, many of the lessons apply to other parts of the developing world. The book is well written and would be a great text for a course in development studies.

This book walks you through many of the pitfalls, but also the eventual success stories of many grassroots style development projects tackling fair trade, export, scalability and culture.
