This year Alma Susana Chávez will be our full-time facilitator responsible for all SCP programs in Nicaragua. We did not renew Marlon Palacio’s contract with us in 2008.

Alma has experience as a teacher and in sea turtle conservation. She is a hard worker and very committed to her job, which she describes as difficult, but rewarding. Alma lives in the city of Santa Teresa with her daughter, Dania, and her two aunts, who run a “pulperia”, or little grocery store, out of the front of their home.
