WHY?  
"My name is Erayda, coordinator of Hosanna LC in a rural community in Masaya, Nicaragua. This center belongs to one of the programs of Wisconsin/ Nicaragua Partners of the Americas. I have been working with this organization for three years and my experience has been really good. This organization provides social help, promotes women empowerment and community development in poor areas of our country. In my experience I've seen people emerge from learning at the center and nowadays work on their own or are employed by other businesses. I want to thank God and Wisconsin/ Nicaragua Partners of the Americas for the opportunity given to be part of this organization which has been a blessing for all the community and has also changed lives and families. Thank you so much for everything!"
