int visitors 2On Monday, July 21, 2014, I had the pleasure of hosting our most recent international delegate, Mr. Diosdado Mba NCony a Political Science and Sociology Department Head and Professor from Equatorial New Guinea, Central Africa where the native language is Spanish.

We met at the office where I briefed Mr. Ncony on the the Neighborhood Council system and provided him with our Board Member Handbook in Spanish. He was most interested in gaining information regarding the creation of the Neighborhood Council system, its framework, the governing Board structure and their bylaws.

In the evening he joined me at the MacArthur Park Neighborhood Council meeting were he interacted with the Board (who hold their meetings in Spanish) asking questions and encouraging them to continue their work in the community. Below is a picture of our guest, his translator and the MacArthur Park Neighborhood Council!
