VMM's Featured Missioner of the Month:
Danielle Mackey
|
Danielle serves with VMM's project partner, the SHARE Foundation, in San Salvador as the Grassroots Delegation and Tour Coordinator. SHARE accompanies poor communities in El Salvador as they work for economic justice, democracy and sustainable development alternatives at the local and national levels. SHARE believes that leadership development, women's empowerment, and increased participation in civil society are essential to building solutions to injustice and poverty.
Danielle coordinates and leads sistering, grassroots delegations of U.S. communities who come to El Salvador to visit Salvadoran communities and, in solidarity, experience Salvadorian life. Danielle is charged with educating the visiting groups (or delegations) about the reality of poverty in El Salvador, the role of global economics in Salvadoran life and how Salvadoran civil society works.
