Mrs. Feiler Faster got some props on Tuesday from the Secretary of Commerce at the White House.

“But it is not only U.S. companies that are helping create opportunity in the hemisphere—Latin American entrepreneurs are stepping up to the plate as well.

Endeavor, a non-profit which helps support, train and grow entrepreneurs in developing economies, has hundreds of case studies of successful Latin pioneers.

Entrepreneur Francisco Gross has a company in Uruguay that is helping deliver drinkable water and wastewater management through affordable water treatment devices. His patented product is so affordable and efficient that the company has been hired to consult with companies in China.

Alltournative, a company run by Carlos Marin in Mexico, is supporting thousands of impoverished Mayan Indians by helping them develop a sustainable tourism infrastructure. So far, over 200,000 tourists have visited the Alltournative-Mayan sites.”
