Graduations, Acceptances, Concerts, etc.

A break from regular updates hasn't by any means meant a break from Nica HOPE news. It's been a busy month complete with long power outages, longer journeys, heavy rains, and heavier accomplishments. Congratulations to Deanna Ford on completing her final semester at Georgetown University's Public Policy Institute and to Ben Bodell on his acceptance into Brandeis University's Master in Social Policy program! Deanna will be working in Managua full-time starting this August while Ben is en route to Boston. Both, however, will be in Washington DC on Tuesday June 19th for Nica HOPE's much anticipated benefit concert performed by Braddigan (of Dispatch) with Taylor Carson and sponsored by Razoo, a new online web platform to connect, inspire, and empower individuals to make positive change in the world. Check out our Nica HOPE website for more information and to purchase tickets.

And as always, check back for more news and notes. The upcoming month promises to be a big one as we move closer and closer to initializing our in-country operations.
