Nicaragua is embraced from east to west by the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans. |
|
Its rivers, lakes, land, and people struggle for life and dignity with
a passion as intense as the fires that burn deep inside the volcanoes
which make a corridor from north to south. |
 Kay and Carmen spent the month of July, 2002 in Nicaragua in preparation
for taking a group of Faithful Fools in 2003. Those who will go are
participants from the four-day retreat last
March.We will live with Nicaraguan families in the barrio where Carmen
lived with other Franciscan Sisters for seven years. We will meet
with people who work in the sweatshops that produce clothing for U.S.
department stores. |
 |
We will meet with coffee farmers who are hungry and losing their land
while coffee consumption in the U.S. is at an all-time high.
|
|
We go to understand the effects of free trade and globalization. We
go to share stories. We go to bear witness. |
