Texas A&M University BAF will continue to create positive network effects in several areas of the Texas A&M University system, which includes AMC (Aggie Mens Club), AFIL (Academy for Future International Leaders), and The Borlaug Institute. BAF projects will increase interaction between the domestic and international community within Texas A&M and give various student groups the opportunity to become a tangible part of this relationship. A critical component of the relationship was established when 14 students from Texas A&M, from the AMC student organization, were sent to Tegucigalpa to work with one of our project affiliates in Honduras in 2005. Consecutive visits to Honduras have been made on a yearly basis since then.The Borlaug InstituteBAF is in partnership with The Borlaug Institute at Texas A&M University, whose aim is to cultivate knowledge about world affairs and international business.
