FUTURE TRIP(S): We have confirmed plans for our next trip with SOL. We will travel to Mesa De Acicaya, a village in the mountains, to begin construction of a new school. Due to the remote location, the group will stay in the community in two buildings set up in a dormatory format. We have organized the work week to include some unique experiences in the community and time to explore the beauty of Nicaragua, including the Colonial city of Leon and a volcano. The dates are Saturday April 21 -to Saturday April 28th, 2018. This is timed just after most university exams to allow some of the families who have expressed interest. If you know someone I should add to the email distribution, please let me know. This links describes the first project that SOL has been doing in the village.

This documentary film "The Best of What We Are" was written and directed by Erin Paul. It provides a good overview of the roots of Winds of Change.
