Please Keep Carolyn in the Light.

I am very sad to share with you that Carolyn passed on at 5.25 wed mar 14.2012 in Solentiname Nicaragua. She was suddenly and dramatically taken ill in the morning. I was with her the whole day along with many close friends; the nurse was here, but she died in my arms surrounded by friends. In local tradition, friends and the community stayed with us from that moment on through the night. Many folks I did not know, but they wanted to be with her. Friends brought food and the men built a beautiful casket. We had a community service at 3pm; she was buried at 5:15 Thursday and then we had a fiesta to celebrate her life. We lit a fire when she died, paused by the fire before burial, and we will keep her flame going for seven days.

Paz y an abrazo

Please help us preserve her legacy through the Carolyn Parker Memorial Fund.

Student Scholars in University Distancia PDF Print E-mail

Scholar Profiles

Distancia is unique to Nicaragua; it is a program that meets every other weekend for class on Saturday and Sunday. This system was developed for students that needed to work during the week, and only had limited time. Clearly daily education is better, but not all students can make that investment of time since they need to work to support their families. There are both Distancia high schools and Universities in Nicaragua. We have 15 students in Distancia Beca program and sponsorship is $30.00 per student, per month; $300.00 for the year
