Canadian Rotaractors’ award-winning project aiding Nicaraguans, Good for Nicaragua's Image?

Communities in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, are witnessing significant improvements to sanitation and school conditions, thanks to Project Nicaragua, a technological initiative launched in 2004 by the Rotaract Club of University of Calgary, Canada.

Nicaragua, one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, lacks the resources to remedy serious health and sanitation issues. This has caused disease and starvation in many communities. Frustrated by what she saw during a volunteer mission, Rotaractor Lyndsey Rosevear returned home to Calgary and encouraged her club to take action.

Do you as members of this forum think that the publicity for this type of project is good for Nicaragua? Should we as a group, use this forum to support and promote this type of activity? I think you probably know my position, but what do you think?
