Nuevo Amanecer. One of our biggest contributions was a few hundred pounds of clothing donations, which we sold to the community in a bazzar (top). The $140 people paid will be returned to them, reinvested in development projects. On the bottom is me someplace I love to be, around amazing women. From left to right is Emily Sendin, chair of the Imagination Federation; Dona Tina, a Nuevo resident who, in the traditional Nica way, always indulges us with treats as visitors even if she doesn't have much for herself; and Conchita Montes, a remarkable community organizer and mentor from Chacraseca who helps coordinate the Nuevo projects among many others.

| Nuevo Amanecer. Even in the harshest poverty, humanity manages to burst through in vivid colors, all the time. We had fun busting a pinata with the kids (top right). You can also see one of the rainwater cisterns so crucial to Nuevo's survival (bottom center). |

Nuevo Amanecer. Hard to serve together without loving each other.
