Campaign for Children in Nicaragua
Campaing for Children in Nicaragua
Nicaragua is the place where we get most of our coffee from, and Leon Nicaragua is Roger’s place of birth. Most of his Mom’s family still lives in Nicaragua and although they have suffered through much political turmoil and war they are very much attached to their homeland.
During a phone conversation Roger had with his aunt who is an instructor at an elementary school in Leon, Nicaragua, she mention that most of her students could not afford to buy the books and supplies needed for school. We asked how much it would take to purchase the books, and were shocked to hear that with just $3.00 we could purchase the materials needed for one child for one semester. I don’t want to sound like Sally but just think for the price of a Latte, or a Happy Meal you can provide the necessary tools to empower a small child to learn to the Three R’s and lead him in the path of becoming a productive citizen.
Split Bean Coffee has teamed up with The Brotherhood of Our Lady of Rocío, of which our families are members, to raise funds to purchase school supplies and books for these children. For every purchase made from April 15th to May 15th – 2007, Split Bean Coffee will donate One Dollar to the children at the Mariano Dubon Pre-Escolar in Leon Nicaragua. If you want to donate to the cause, you can contact the Brotherhood through elrocio@elrocio.net . Split Bean Coffee will be donating the cost for any transaction fees for donations made to the Brotherhood.
