Thanks to technology Empowerment International will be hosting an event in Longmont Colorado, a slideshow and a photo exhibit of the work of 10 young artists from an impoverished barrio outside of Granada Nicaragua. The young teen photographers will meet the guests via skype.

If you are in the area we do hope you will come by and join us for this fantastic event.

This will be an informal, lively, low-pressure fund-raiser for Empowerment International.

Many of you probably already know about this if you live in Nicaragua, but just in case I will post it. Basically La Chureca is a symptom of a bad situation existing in all of Nicaragua. NICARAGUA: Fighting Over Society’s Scraps By José Adán Silva

I would like to invite people to check out my photos on Flickr (www.flickr.com/kathyaadams there are many already of Nicaragua and I am adding them almost daily. Also check out my new blog which is sometimes fed from my flickr account. Both have RSS feeds.

These days more of my time is in Nicaragua than ever.I spend a mixture of time in each country and most of my time is dedicated to Empowerment International regardless my physical location.

We put 180 children to school this past February. For those of you looking for serious volunteer work or project info drop me a line and i will connect you with one of our volunteer staff members in Granada. http://www.empowermentinternationalkathy.blogspot.com/
