We are heading to Nicaragua! Since our last trip we have continued building relationships and staying involved with friends and coworkers we met while we were there 2 years ago.
Since we were there last we have launched Yada Fair-trade & Resale in Madison. It has been one of the most rewarding, challenging, growing and fulfilling experiences we have had. We have seen the importance of relationships, listening to life experiences to gain understanding and seeing how small acts can lead to big changes. So much to say about Yada in Madison but for now we are focusing on Nicaragua.
We are currently trudging through Midwest winter weather, pilot shortages and delays to get feet on the ground there, but we are hopeful that tomorrow at this time we will have feet in the sand!
We are excited to continue partnership with Todo con Amor and The Way church in some small villages in Nicaragua. Working with youth through sports, baking and music. We will also be meeting with a few artisans for fair-trade products.
We have made connections with a few organizations that are working with sexually exploited children in Latin America. God knows how to make paths cross and it is always cool to see those unfold…stay tuned!
