the Connection

Making a Difference Here and Abroad

Best wishes to Will Frankum, who is taking a leave from Transwestern to pursue an opportunity related to his wife’s retail business, OKO. For the next 6-8 months, the two will be working with nonprofit Global Effect in the Dominican Republic, overseeing construction of a factory that will provide many safe jobs in a very poor community. The clothes made in the Dominican Republic will be sold in OKO’s retail locations.
