    sorry about that. we are planning a trip to Guatemala in two weeks, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Burundi in September, Haiti in November... so i have been so busy on all this. What I was thinking is that we have a great project in Nicaragua, a cafe/roasterie that is owned and operated by a prosthetic clinic that provides free limbs ane therapy to coffee landmine victims. The cafe needs some advice on menus, food prep, some barista training, etc. it is run by great hearted, well intentioned people without a lot of skill, so it is a real clean slate. In other words, any help would be great help, even helping design or make signs for the place. are you interested? it could be a one week gig or even five days.

    so glad i decided to wander over to your page again (your reply didn't post on my page)...and sorry for my delay this time. those travel plans sound amazing and i understand how involved things become; just finished planning our own trip to costa rica and if u are an active traveler there are so many details.

    yes! i am definitely interested in exploring it further. i've never been to nicaragua, but actually i would love to collaborate on such a project and it also would be an amazing learning experience for me as well. you're probably in guatemala now; when you return, shoot me an email at trpilarz@yahoo.es and let's set up a time we could talk.

    un saludo y muy buen viaje!
