Despite heavy downpours, last night’s Dominican Get-togethers in The Big Apple, an initiative by the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) and the Foundation Global Democracia y Desarollo (FUNGLODE), attracted a substantial crowd.
James McGann, Director of the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program at the University of Pennsylvania, stated that philanthropic foundations help promote the development of a society because “they are a bridge between knowledge and the community.”
On Friday July 8, 2011 GFDD and FUNGLODE will use the platform of its continuing cultural program, Dominican Get-togethers in the Big Apple for an event to; 1) screen a documentary film about the Dominican Republic, and 2) to launch an exciting new initiative, Dominican Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Environment.
