Body:
Pat and Kathy Floerke from Jubilee House Community in
Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua, will speak again in Richland Center
on Monday, October 23, at 7:00 pm at the Pippin Center, Melvill
Hall, UW-Richland. Their talk is called “Sustainable Alternatives
for Sustaining Hope in Nicaragua.”
They will talk about Nicaragua and the work of their
Center for Development of Central America. This group has
done wonderful work in organizing people to work together
for their basic rights and necessities in a very poor area of
Nicaragua. Some projects started by CDCA are the Nueva Vida
Women’s Sewing Co-op, as well as organic agriculture, concrete
construction, clay water filter and furniture co-ops.
They will also have a sale of Nicaraguan crafts, including
especially beautiful pottery and jewelry.
