Who: Sarah Junkin Woodard (Sarah@jhc-cdca.org)
What: Speaking on the work & ministry of the JHC-CDCA in Nicaragua.
When: March 25 - May 25, 2011
Where: the southeast mostly, speaking in churches, college classes, livingrooms, civic groups, preschools, or anywhere else she gets an invitation! No gathering is too small. Contact her directly via email, please.
Why: for two reasons... to share updated information about the work with those already involved and with new folk who might become interested (i.e. education) and for fund-raising.
But here's th
e thing... many many folk are signed up on our database with only their email addresses, which means we have no way to know if you are along the speaking tour route, and we don't know to write you to ask if you'd like to host Sarah, or to let you know she'll be speaking near you. So we need you to write us/her about speaking possibilities, and if you know someone else en route, connect us to them... you see how this is a chance for you to really help.Also, this link... http://tinyurl.com/4f4rmgx will get you to Sarah's online calendar. You can see where she will be on what dates, and what dates are still open. She will double-bo
ok, so grab her for a day time something even if she already has an evening something scheduled, and vice versa! She'll keep updating this calendar, so as the time gets closer, times of presentations and contact information will also be available if you can come to something already scheduled.If you are interested in Sarah coming to your area, here's the bare bones info to share around regarding the presentation information and available crafts (where appropriate):
Sarah Junkin Woodard comes to us from the Center for Development in Central Amer
ica (CDCA), the Nicaraguan project of the non-profit, faith-based organization, the Jubilee House Community (JHC). Before moving to Nicaragua in 1994, the JHC operated shelters for the homeless and battered women in Statesville, NC. Ministering in Nicaragua since then, the CDCA seeks to respond to human needs created by poverty in a nation where 45% of the population lives on less than $1.00/day, the second poorest in the western hemisphere. The CDCA is working towards freedom from poverty, helping communities become self-sufficient, sustainable, democratic entities, focusing its work in the areas of sustainable economic development, organic agriculture, appropriate technology, education, and health care. Sarah says, “The CDCA has been called to work with, and speak on behalf of, the poor in our area of Nicaragua, and to s
hare their lives and stories with folks in the U.S., to bridge the gap between us and our neighbors.” Proceeds from craft sales go to the operating expenses of the project.
