“Students with your pieces of jewelry”

George&Joanie
As we re-group after the loss of Sherin, two of our stellar volunteers, Joanie & George Hanson, have stepped in to help us rearrange our Wisconsin office area. We now have a volunteers room that will provide; * Unique Nicaraguan items for purchase such as coffee, doll dresses, pottery, pine needle baskets and more. * Space and a computer for volunteers to come in and help us work on various projects. * An area to enjoy Authentic Nicaraguan coffee while brainstorming on W/NP projects. * Easy access to W/NP brochures, videos, travel information, language learning tools, and other educational resources we have available.
