Come Join Us!
Spring Speaking Tour:
Sarah Junkin Woodard comes to us from the Jubilee House Community, a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit she helped form in 1979. Working with and on behalf of the poor in North Carolina for the first decade, the last 31 years have been spent in Nicaragua, with the project name of the Center for Development in Central America. The JHC-CDCA continues to respond to local needs, seeking resources to help the poor accomplish what they see as their priorities, particularly in the areas of sustainable economic development, organic agriculture, health care, and education. The JHC-CDCA is supported by grassroots donations, making it uniquely flexible in responding to climate crises, able to adjust service ministries as needs change. This Spring, Sarah's focus is to update supporters on the JHC-CDCA's work in Nicaragua as well to educate those in the global north on the amazing realities developing within a southern neighbor where both the social and political will are focused on helping the majority of the population, the poorest of the poor. Sarah travels with a powerpoint presentation providing Q&A opportunities. Her schedule is below, updated frequently… please write Sarah@jhc-cdca.org for more details.
