Dear Friends...

   You've made so many miracles happen in Nicaragua this year--just a few of which are listed below!  Thank you, thank you, thank you..

    As 2012 draws to a close, we hope you'll help us close the year in the black and set the stage for an even more miraculous 2013!

Look what we've done together in 2012!

• Our US partnerships increased to 18!
• Replaced three water cisterns- insuring continued access to water for the families in Chacraseca!
• Increased support of the clinics in Chacraseca and Santa Emilia
• 18 new latrines in La Flor, 4 in Chacraseca
• 2 new houses in Chacraseca!
• 125 elementary school scholarships; 2 college scholarships, and another year of High School in Santa Emilia!
• Stitching Hope completed a new building and trained 5 new women
• 100 women are now engaged in our microcredit programs- and maintaining a 100% repayment rate!
• The Dreaming Together Hardware Store is entering its third year of business, with plans to expand next year!
• Chacraseca's community tractor served 247 farmers, allowing them to plant more than ever!
• La Flor's community store continues to flourish!
• We have new artisan partners in the Lopez family- potters from San Juan de Oriente!

  As we continue to accompany our Nicaraguan partners, there's so much we want to do together in 2013 - more kids in school, more women with jobs, more farmers planting fields, more people accessing health care! Every dollar helps -- every pledge makes a difference!

 Please consider making a year-end gift...
