BIOGRAPHY:  Jana Hofer grew up in the great state of South Dakota where she received her Bachelors of Science degree in Biology from the University of Sioux Falls. Feeling God's call to serve overseas and having a desire to explore the field of public health, Jana began seeking God's direction and was soon led to serve with Food for the Hungry in Bolivia, South America.

Jana Hofer has been serving in Sucre, Bolivia for 4 years and in that time has seen God working in many exciting ways within the communities where FHI works, the institution itself and also in her own life. Her part in this work is serving as the Coordinator for IEC (Information, Education, Communication) for all programs within FHI/Bolivia, including health, water & sanitation, agriculture and child development. Her specific duties involve developing holistic educational materials, implementing behavior change communication strategies and ensuring appropriate training techniques. Jana's free time lately has been filled with graduate studies, playing league volleyball, being outdoors and spending time with friends.

REASON FOR WORKING WITH FHI:  God's calling!
