Visit from Jubilee House Nicaragua
Thursday, April 23, 7:00pm, Meetinghouse (blended)
Sarah Junkin Woodard is traveling to share the work of the Jubilee House Community, a nonprofit she helped form in 1979 in North Carolina, where they developed responses to meet the needs of the homeless and battered women for more than a decade. Working for the last 32 years in Nicaragua, with the project name of the Center for Development in Central America, the JHC-CDCA's goal has always been to help the poor accomplish what they see as their priorities, which has led to work particularly in the areas of sustainable economic development, organic agriculture, health care, and education. In Nicaragua, the JHC-CDCA has worked with small organic farmers, enabling them to find international markets for organic cotton, sesame, peanuts, and coffee. While climate change and international shipping issues brought their organic cooperative to a close, the connection with organic coffee growers remains.
