MINNESOTA-URUGUAY PARTNERS OF THE AMERICAS
A verified US-registered nonprofit
Help MUP promote friendship, cultural understanding and societal development by sending students from Minnesota to wonderful Uruguay!
For more than 40 years, Women and men from all walks of life--artists, architects, businesspeople, environmentalists, farmers, foresters, government officials, lawyers, teachers, veterinarians--have become members of the Minnesota-Uruguay Partners (MUP) family.
We welcome all volunteers and organizations willing to share their skills and work toward effective international cooperation. For more information visit our web site at: http://minnesotauruguaypartners.org
This past year alone we have hosted visits by more than 20 Uruguayans while sending 15 Minnesotans to learn from our friends to the south. In the process, we shared information about Sustainable Housing, Judcial System Reform, Art, Agriculture, Education, Business and much, much more.
The big news is that we have facilitated a reciprocity agreement between the U of M and the National University of Uruguay. Now we need to raise funds to help more Minnesota undergraduate students experience Uruguay. The MUP Board is putting up $1,000 as a challenge match to encourage you to give. Help us raise $2,000 to fund travel scholarships for Minnesota students!
