Biographical notes:

Since its establishment in 1968, Kansas-Paraguay Partners, Inc. (KPP) and its Paraguayan counterpart the Comité Paraguay Kansas (CPK) have developed hundreds of grassroots projects in both Kansas and Paraguay. In each activity the two counterparts work together through joint committees to plan and implement community-based projects designed to benefit both sides of the partnership. Committees in the partnership focus on cultural arts, education, agriculture, health, trade, natural resources, human rights, emergency preparedness, and other such topics. The program is part of Partners of the Americas, a national private organization originally inspired by President John F. Kennedy. [Kansas Paraguay Partners.
