“Students with your pieces of jewelry”
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.
