Winter Hill: Land of Charity: The Alliance for Cultural & Economic Exchange

There is a general lack of a web presence for Winter Hill, with most of the attention going to events around the High School. However, with a little digging, it's good to find a gem of benevolence hiding in the wilderness north of Highland Ave. The Alliance for Cultural & Economic Exchange, mixes chocolate with charity, with goals of funding scholarships for Ecuadorian secondary school children and young leaders, and market development in local handicrafts and tourism.

Chocolate 2008 is currently planned for June. You might want to register.
