1. (SBU) Reftel requests that Post evaluate Brazilian candidates for
the SEED initiative. "Projeto Bagagem" is well-known to USAID
Brazil. USAID Senior Advisor Eric Stoner reports it is a
community-based tourism network in Brazil. Stoner is familiar with
the individuals who participated in the component training activity
in Santarem, Brazil, which was coordinated locally by Projeto Saude
e Alegria, a health and environment NGO that works in communities on
the Tapajos River. He is also familiar with the activities of FASE
Gurupa. All are worthy community-based NGOs and serve as home base
for tourism internships in communities in their area. Apparently
they have other community activities throughout Brazil, and appear
to be based in Lencois, which is a small town in western Bahia State
in the Chapada Diamantina. Advisor Stoner would give thumbs up to
these candidates.
