You might want to include . . .
You might want to include . . . http://www.la-esperanza-granada.org
By providing opportunities and resources for the long term educational advancement and community development of four Nicaraguan Pueblos we hope to brighten the future of the children and empower the pueblos to improve their current living conditions.
We are a non profit, non political, non denominational and non fraternal organization, funded entirely by individuals donations.
Located on the outskirts of the colonial city of Granada: La Prusia, El Pochote, La Epifanía and Las Camelias are villages struggling to survive. Through the concern and the vision of several caring individuals, there is enough hope to help these pueblos in a time of need.
The information, images, and development plans available on this website are made possible by volunteers, community members and travelers, in an effort to organize a sustainable project aimed at the improvement of living standards and at the educational advancement of the children of the aforementioned pueblos.
La Esperanza Granada 2005
Hi arlington
Hi arlington have you worked with La Esperanza.
I would like to add some on-the-ground experiences to this page.
I remember reading many NL members posts that mentioned they were into humanitarian work.
NL members; Please enlighten us with any personal experience!
I wish I could say that I was . . .
I wish I could say that I was . . . I believe they are looking for a minimum one month commitment. I haven't been able to do that yet. From the sales of our Casa Silas coffee, here in Canada, I plan to contribute $1 per pound to their efforts though. It won't amount to much at first but, I'm optimistic.
