Other Donatable Items
Do you have something that you feel might be useful to our schools in Nicaragua? Contact us anytime.
As many families in Nicaragua are still cooking over wood fires, older, heavy cooking pots are terrific. Many churches and schools have large pots and pans that are no longer put to use but would be much appreciated here.
