El Regadio, Nicaragua
El Regadio is a village in Nicaragua that was at the center of some of the Contra-era destruction and is currently being harmed by CAFTA-era destruction.
Several Jeff Streeters have made Witness for Peace (and other) trips to Nicaragua (and specifically to El Regadio), where we are always touched by her natural beauty, her gracious people, her great poverty and our common, sometimes sad history.
Some of our Reclaiming Christmas profits have helped build a community center in El Regadio.
Dan Trabue had this to report on his Witness for Peace trip to Nicaragua:
Nicaragua is a beautiful but poor country with a tragic history, with many of its darker chapters having been written by the US. Nica reminds me, in may ways, of our own Eastern Kentucky, only to an extreme - taller mountains, more drastic poverty, more villainous antagonists, more striking beauty.
My visit made me wish to one day visit Nicaragua again, perhaps to hike across her pleasant countryside. I just hope to do so in a day when justice has been meted out and wrongs righted.
