Mark Etherington is currently the Chief Building Engineer for ScanlanKemperBard at Hamilton Landing in Novato, CA.  Mark has been a Seeds of Learning Work Group leader for 15 years. “I found my passion for this while trekking the Himalayas and seeing the poverty there. I was lucky enough to be introduced to Seeds of Learning upon my return and have been hooked ever since. To be part of an organization that gives kids a chance at an education and a brighter future is a blessing. I know we have a lot of opportunity in the U.S., and I feel very fortunate to have the chance to make a difference.”

“I know firsthand what a difference this organization makes, having gone on Seeds of Learning trips with my wife Allyson and our children. For me, being and working in the community, with the community members and work group volunteers is what it’s all about.”
