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.

Leer Challenge Readathon PDF Print E-mail

Finally we are seeking your support of Leer Solentiname, probably our most important program. We have over 160 students participating after school reading program, trying to instill the tradition of reading in a society where books are scarce. It is an ongoing readathon and your donation is encouraging students to read. The kids do not get any of the money personally, rather it is an investment in the program to buy books, to operate the BiblioBoat and other direct expenses of Leer Solentiname.  It is an investment of only $12.50 a month for an annual total of $137.50 -- please consider sponsoring several of these youngsters.

All donations are pooled together for each group of students, and we hope you will be able to create a personal connection with one of these students to show that "we care" about their future.   It’s a tangible and measured way to support the future of Solentiname, with some great rewards!
