Daniel Egusquiza, Fabiola Flores, and Tony Veloz of Barrio Alegria joined the West Reading-Wyomissing Rotary Club at the December meeting to share how their community transformation organization is evolving Latino and Hispanic neighborhoods. Barrio Alegria utilizes the arts to build, empower, and strengthen communities through individuals. They care about the stories of those that are helping create safe spaces for vulnerable community members. Woven into their programs are storytelling and financial guidance along with systems that measure results. Rotarians were amazed to learn about what this organization has accomplished and look forward to future opportunities to be engaged with their programs to make a difference.
