Leadership

Molly K. Fisher

Term:

Since Jan 2006

Profile:

Molly, an Indiana native, is an accomplished educator and philanthropist who has dedicated herself to serving the needs of local communities through education, economic empowerment, social enterprise, animal welfare, and environmental program development.   A resident in Mexico since 1999, Molly currently resides in Bucerias and Mexico City.   She has recently been named the assistant director of <a href="http://www.worldfund.org/index.php/US/our-programs/slp-lemgcreating-school-leaderslemg">Worldfund Mexico</a> whose mission is to train leaders in education.

Leadership Statement:

When Fisher moved to Isla Mujeres in 1999 —a small, idyllic island off the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula—she was planning to stay for a year. Her mission was to learn Spanish so that she could communicate easier with the majority of Hispanic students in her classroom. But when Fisher’s adopted dog, Jordi was killed in what was known as a “dog sweep” in which a local government team rounded up loose dogs and electrocuted them in attempts to control animal over-population, she decided to do something about it. “I thought, I can waste all this energy being angry, or I can use it to do something positive,” Fisher said.  “I realized spay and neuter clinics were the best way to do that.” Ayuda a los Animales (Help the Animals) ran its first spay and neuter clinic in 2001 on Isla Mujeres. PEACE grew from there. “It doesn’t make sense to look at one sector of the community alone,” Fisher said. “If one part is off-balance, it can through the entire community off.” So Fisher looked at one community. In 2002, she relocated to the Bay of Banderas and founded PEACE, to combat animal overpopulation, provide education, encourage community building, and help local women become self-sufficient. All programs were made alongside community members who are consistently integral in every decision-making process. Punta de Mita was the starting point for many reasons. There were no spay and neuter clinics in the area at that time, and development and tourism created a unique set of circumstances that provided the potential for funding through both donations and sustainable businesses.
