Dear Friends,
We're ramping up for the annual service trip to Cusmapa Nicaragua where we will work with the children, the microbusinesses (coffee, jewelry, other hand-made products) and engage in INTENSE LABOR on the facility. (Am I getting too old for this?) Right now, we are a group of 14 (12 students and Tim H., campus minister, and I). We're learning about life in Nicaragua and Catholic Social Teaching. AND we're trying to raise some funds (1. to hire local workers to work with us 2. to help cover travel and living expenses, and 3) to salt away something for my retirement :-) ...in some tropical clime, like Chicago in the Fall.
You're being asked to help many worthy and urgent causes at this time, but if you have a some extra funds to send our way, I thank you it very much.
In any case, please pray for us and support the Fabretto Foundation, our partner in this effort.
Thanks,
Fr. kjf
