Nicaragua Surf Report - Wave of the Day - April 3rd, 2012 [00:58]
Nicaragua Surf Report presents the Wave of the Day for April 3rd, 2012. This little beauty comes from NSR's home break and is one of the heavier waves I've had the pleasure of recording yet this season. You have to love the backside drop, the complete cover up, and the last minute doggy door.

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.
