Making A Difference - New Development Experience was founded by social entrepreneurs Greg Van Kirk and George “Bucky” Glickley, former Peace Corps Volunteers who also founded the unique not-for-profit, Community Enterprise Solutions (www.cesolutions.org). CE Solutions is “changing obstacles into opportunities” by transforming development projects into local entrepreneurial and educational ventures. NDE will allow others to experience the wonder that Guatemala is, to observe and participate in successful development work and to provide the human and financial resources necessary to lead CE Solutions to greater heights.
