| Lars Kvinsland, sales associate at Peninsula Brokers, has issued a commitment to share 10 percent of his commissions with Etta Projects, a local non-profit humanitarian organization that improves lives and builds futures for impoverished families in Montero, Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
Etta Projects was founded in 2002 to honor the life of Etta Turner, a Rotary exchange student from Port Orchard who lost her life in a tragic bus accident in the mountains of Bolivia. In less than five years, Etta Projects opened two comedors or dining halls in Montero. In 2006, over 240 children received preventative health care and nutritious meals at the two comedors, while their mothers acquired literacy and job skills, sanitation and nutrition training, and business skills.
