People-to-people Connections
Each
year, WCCN (Wisconsin Coordinating Council on Nicaragua) sponsors
delegations to Nicaragua to facilitate people-to-people connections
between US residents and Nicaraguans and to build on our ongoing
projects. Our June delegations each focus on a different aspect
of women's issues. WCCN's "Vital Connections" delegation
in June 2000 provided both Nicaraguans and US residents with experiences
and insights to enrich lives in both the North and South. It included
meetings with groups working against violence and for human rights,
as well as cultural activities and the opportunity to experience
and appreciate the natural beauty of Nicaragua.
WCCN's women's issues delegations are open
to both women and men who are interested in the delegation's goals
and activities and are eager to take the opportunity to learn from
the Nicaraguans with whom we meet during the delegation. If you are
interested in participating in the Summer 2001 women's issues delegation
to Nicaragua, contact WCCN and ask for an information packet.
Donate to WCCN
WCCN membership dues are $35 or more per year ($10 for low-income
members). All members receive our newsletters, as well as notification
of upcoming WCCN delegations to Nicaragua and other activities. Most
importantly, giving to WCCN enables our work in solidarity with the
people of Nicaragua to continue. Financial contributions from people
like you enable WCCN to help meet the needs of Nicaraguans as they
struggle to provide a safe and healthy life for themselves and their
children. WCCN is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization, so
your contributions are tax-deductible.
You can make a contribution online using your credit card through
Helping.org, a nonprofit
organization which provides a secure web-based system for processing
donations to nonprofit organizations. If you choose to donate via
Helping.org, please authorize them to give us your address so that
we can send you our newsletters. |
