Heather Williamson

When Heather Williamson and Libardo De La Torre were married, they arranged to have a small scroll near each place setting at their reception.The engraved message was: "To share our joy and happiness in our fortune and blessings, we have given to The Fund for Community Progress to help our neighbors in Providence."The couple had made a generous donation in advance.

Heather worked part-time at The Fund prior to beginning her studies for a master's degree in Library Science at the University of Rhode Island.She and Libardo were married at the Friends Meeting House in Providence on August 30, 2003, before proud family and friends.We wish this endearing and compassionate couple happiness and longevity.

Earlier Heather had been coordinator of Community Connections, a program to introduce democracy to leaders in business and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from former Russian republics, such as Belarus and the Ukraine.
