/24-7PressRelease/ - January 04, 2008 - Chefs for Humanity (CFH) has launched the Wawa Boom Project, the development of a plan to assist the Wawa Boom community in Nicaragua over the next two years, it was announced by CFH founder Chef Cat Cora. CFH will help with immediate recovery needs and the re-development of a sustainable economy and lifestyle.

The Wawa Boom Project, with support of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the Northern Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAN), was launched following a field visit to Nicaragua and Honduras December 3 - 8, 2007. The field entourage, including Chef Cora and Acting Executive Director Diane Burstein, studied the challenges facing the area, including child under-nutrition, poverty, the impact of climate change and the devastation caused by Hurricane Felix as well as observed the positive impact of school feeding programs.

"After spending nearly a week in the area, we have a better understanding of what Chefs for Humanity can do to assist with the WFP's continuing efforts," said Chef Cora. "In addition to food, the community needs shoes and boots, soap, tools and other necessities for re-building and planting. Through the generosity of our core group of supporters and much-needed help from the general public, we can make a sustainable difference in the lives of the people of Wawa Boom."

Wawa Boom is a transit corridor between the Pacific and the Central area of Nicaragua. Due to the lack of a bridge on the Wawa River, people are ferried across the river. After hurricane Felix, the river flooded and all the houses were damaged, forcing the community to settle in temporary shelters made of wood and plastic. The settlement is located 37 kilometers west of Puerto Cabezas and is accessed through a dirt road.
