If you have signed up for the trip in February 2009, please do not request time off from work, or make any travel plans just yet. We are looking into adjusting the dates slightly so that people will not miss as many days from work. We may possibly push it back a few days so that two weekends are covered by the trip rather than missing two full weeks of work. However, this hasn’t be locked in yet. As soon as we know more, those who have signed up will be notified of all details, and this site will be updated accordingly.
Stay tuned to this page for complete updates.

NRN-ND now has a group on Facebook!
So many former and active group members, as well as Nicaraguan friends, have Facebook accounts that a group was the next logical step. Discussion, photo, and video sharing will be possible, as well as easy communication with those who are members of the group. It’s a handy way to keep in touch!
You can join our group on Facebook by clicking here. You’ll be directed to sign up for a Facebook account if you don’t already have one. Once you sign up, feel free to leave messages, upload a favorite photo, or link to things that you would like to share with the rest of the group.

We have photos from the recent group visit to Nicaragua which show you the changes and progress happening at the farm! Visit our online photo album to see images of the irrigation system up close, as well as what the water tower looks like.
The farm committee has a lot of enthusiasm, and are working very hard, group members said. The plants grew noticeably just from the time the group arrived in Nicaragua to the time they left.
