Costa Rica & Nicaragua - VIDA + Waboba 2011 [04:05]
A trip my friends and I took with VIDA Volunteer Travels. Our team focused on the medical clinics in churches and schools while other groups focused on dentistry and veterinary work. Our kind friends at Waboba donated several dozen balls for us to donate to the local children in both Costa Rica & Nicaragua. The children loved their gifts from us and we had a little fun with some local community individuals who played a couple games with the Waboba balls (which we gave to their children afterwards).

Move On and On - Joey McGinn [05:33]
El Limonal is a community in Chinandega, Nicaragua that sits beside the city dump. Every day, families with young children go into the dump and dig through trash in search of plastic and metal to recycle. This makes an income of about 1 US dollar a day which is just enough for their survival of their family. This song is their story.

Fair to Farmer Direct I Nicaraguan Students [04:00]
We're backing Nicaragua's bright young coffee kids. Coffee education is at the heart of Salt Spring Coffee, only this time we're not talking about cupping notes and varietals -- it's the education of Nicaragua's coffee kids that's got our attention. In Nicaragua families work to live so it's not uncommon for children to start work at a very young age to earn added income for the family, leaving little time for school. This very reality is what makes this group of bright young coffee farm kids so remarkable. Each has been accepted to Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) in Managua, Nicaragua's capital city. Only the cost of getting a child to Managua is out of reach for a lot of coffee families. It's not uncommon for the average coffee family to experience three-month stretches where their financial resources are limited because of a gap between the coffee growing season and the industry's buying cycle. Needless to say, when putting food on the table year-round is a challenge, sending a child away to university is just not possible. But we no longer want that to be the case. Through Fair to Farmer Direct, our goal is to raise the funds to send prospective students to the Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) to complete their chosen post-secondary degrees. And we want your help. Your commitment and contribution to these kids will give them a chance to make their own future, and carve out a new path for a generation of coffee kids in Nicaragua.
