Worldfund Raises more than $1.5 Million to fund Education Programs to Fight Poverty in Latin America

The 2010 Education Leadership Award was bestowed on three business leaders whose organizations have demonstrated an outstanding and continuous commitment to education development in Latin America: Jim Skinner, Vice Chairman and CEO, McDonald's; Woods Staton, President and CEO, Arcos Dorados, and; Paolo Rocca, Chairman and CEO, Techint Organizaton. The purpose of the Education Leadership award is to highlight and applaud a corporation or individual that has demonstrated a strong commitment to education in Latin America. Worldfund typically bestows the Education Leadership Award on both a Latin American and U.S.-based corporation to drive home the point that individuals and corporations throughout the Americas have a common vested interest in improving education levels in Latin America.
