It’s open! On Saturday the community celebrated the new school, giving thanks to everyone who worked hand in hand. Today I was fortunate enough to attend the first day of classes in the new school. Enjoy…
I will be in El Sauce Feb. 11 for the official opening of the Las Minitas school, joined by volunteers, dignitaries and other community leaders for the celebration.
Can’t wait!
El Sauce, NicaraguaTomorrow I leave snowy Rochester, N.Y. for Central America. I am going to write and photograph a story about SUNY Geneseo’s service -learning program in the small town. Students develop their own sustainable development projects and implement them alongside villagers and an alumnus. I will be helping to teach English, visiting remote health outposts with nurses, working with new travel guides, laying brick, carrying cement bags and mangling Spanish as I try to communicate well with a host family.I have also collected donations from an ever growing circle of friends, who know about the project now and want to help out. Stay posted! The adventure begins.
One of the researchers with the Earthwatch Institute Amazon project sent me an update on how The Friends Project donation of $300 for health-care and wildlife management initiatives has been used in the very remote village of Nueva Esperanza. There are 190 people here and no services.
*installing screens on windows of homes to help prevent malaria.
*buying plastic sandals for children ages 3 to 12 to protect their feet.
*building a metal screen around the latrine at the small school, for sanitation.
There’s still $40 left. Tula says they will use it to buy plastic buckets and chlorine, to teach villagers a safe and simple way to sanitize river water that they use to drink and cook.
Malaria’s a huge problem here, because villagers rely on the forest and river for water and food.
Photos of the work coming.
Here is a link to an article about spending time in Nueva Esperanza and with a family on the Yavari River that I wrote for my newpsaper:

On June 6, Club Vertex in Rochester and party hosts Mike and M.A. Dailor helped The Friends Project out with a fund-raiser.
We raised $128 to fund future projects. I’m checking into how it can be most useful.
Thanks everyone!
