Earlier this year, Abe and George attended the Buddies United In Leadership Developement training (or BUILD) in Indiana.
Buddies United in Leadership Development (BUILD) is an event by Best Buddies International to prepare buddy ambassadors to become community leaders through public speaking. The training on December 12th is New Mexico’s first and is planned to be an annual event.
Ten buddies representing Albuquerque area high schools and the University of New Mexico chapter will receive a day-long training learning to write and present a speech. They will give their speeches at a reception later that evening. Buddies, their Best Buddy Friend (Peer Buddy), parents, and guests will be in attendance. The training is being taught by Kali Wasenko, Best Buddies International Headquarters, Miami. Chapters include Eldorado High, Rio Rancho High, Sandia High, and UNM.
