For nine consecutive years, the Sheil Catholic Center at Northwestern University has sponsored a service-immersion trip to Cusmapa, Nicaragua where we work in collaboration with the Fabretto Children's Foundation. Our mission is to Love, to Learn, and to Serve. While living among the people of Cusmapa, students assist with ongoing construction projects and participate in the various music and sports programs. We also visit and learn about local fair trade cooperatives where resident grow coffee, make pine-needle baskets, and hand-made jewelry. Evenings are reserved for prayer and reflection, and we enjoy a day of sight-seeing at the end of the trip. This important work happens primarily through your generosity! Many of our students rely on the support of our scholarship funds. Any money raised above and beyond their trip expenses will be give as a gift to Fabretto to support their programs in Nicaragua. All donations made through this page will be directed to the general Service Trip Scholarship Fund. If you would like to direct your contribution to a specific student, click on the student's name to visit their personalized fundraising page (links located on the left side).
