Joe Summers (Founder of The Nicaragua Project)

Lorrie Douglas and Joe Summers, with The Nicaragua Project talked to The Rotary Club Ann Arbor North Members on November 15, 2012.

The Nicaragua Project is a nonprofit effort to create sustainable economic development in Catarina, Nicaragua by building an eco-friendly hotel and conference center in an area where families are living on a monthly income of $400.

The project is currently seeking matching funds to double the fundraising results from $30,000 to $60,000. If successful, the campaign will allow the project to begin to build in 2013.
