My name is Kenny. I live in EstelĂ­, Nicaragua. I volunteer at Las Mujeres Ambientalistas Proyecto. It is an environment project where local women recycle paper and add natural plants for fiber, texture and color to the mixture as they hand-make unique papers. Then they make creative greeting cards and paper gifts to sell to support their families. Go to www.ambientalistas.biz to see photos of them doing this labor intensive antique method. They will let you try your hand at it when you visit. Come and volunteer, stay in one of their homes for a while to get a real flavor for how poor people live in a third world country. The women and their families are real sweethearts. You'll love them and they will love you.
