I met the people who run this foundation on my last visit to Nicaragua, and they are need of our help. They purchase Rice and Beans, in large quantities, from local Granada markets, portion out the food into single "day" serving sizes and then go out to the poorest of poor sections and just give the food away to the hungry. That's it...it doesn't get any simpler than this. 100% of the donations go to feeding the people.

Please look at their FB page and if you can...please donate!! If you are unable to donate at this time...then please spread the word to your friends.
