ABOUT NOAH MARWIL
Written by: Noah Marwil December 7th, 2010Professional Title: Latin American Regional Director
Personal Title: Director of Reaching Things over 8 feet or under
Background: I spent the majority of my formative years in the great city of Providence, Rhode Island, until the tender age of 18 when I moved to Boulder, Colorado to attend the University of Colorado. There I studied Environment and Economics. After graduation, unsure of my life’s direction I moved to Argentina to teach English and discover what IT is all about. Upon my return to the US, I took a position with John Snow, Inc., an international public health consulting firm. After 2 and a half years supporting projects abroad from their Boston offices, I moved to La Paz, Bolivia to work directly with a program focused on maternal and child health and prevention and treatment of infectious disease. Thanks to the Mr. Braun, I now have the esteemed pleasure of working for Pencils of Promise as their Latin American Regional Director.

Why PoP? PoP allows me the opportunity to work in social betterment and the alleviation of poverty through education development. I can’t imagine dedicating my life to a lesser cause.
