About TALATERRA

Environmental interpretation happens everywhere. On this podcast, you'll hear conversations with independent professionals who facilitate connections between people and the outdoors. Our guests work in diverse fields and take their own approach to environmental awareness and education. What they share in common is their commitment to nurturing the public's relationship with the outdoors and their status as independent professionals. Who are these professionals? What do they do? How do they contribute to lifelong learning in communities? Let's find out.

   Matthew Paneitz, Long Way Home

   Today, we get to learn from Matthew Paneitz, founder and executive director of Long Way Home. This organization built Hero School, a student-built and community-built campus in San Juan Comalapa, Guatemala. Built from recycled tires and trash, the campus took 16 years to build and serves 178 students enrolled in PreK through High School. The school campus is almost complete. Matthew is also the recipient of the 2020 Sargent Shriver Award for Distinguished Humanitarian Service for his work in Guatemala. This award, presented annually by the National Peace Corps Association, honors Peace Corps volunteers who continue to contribute to humanitarian causes.

   Alexandra Dumitrescu, What nonprofits can learn from e-commerce

   Today my guest is fundraiser and impact growth leader, Alexandra Dumitrescu. In this episode, we discuss nonprofit funding. Alexandra highlights the potential of technology to enhance fundraising efforts and presents ways nonprofits can diversify income streams. We discuss e-commerce models, leveraging SaaS platforms, improving donor relations, and lost funding opportunities. We also discuss initiatives Alexandra founded to help nonprofits create sustainable income and integrate social impact features in business products. How might Alexandra's ideas (or some version of them) be applied to your project, organization, or partnerships? How does this conversation reframe what you see as being possible in environmental education?
