Now that we have safely returned back to the states, Scott, Jenny and I have been able to complete the website we created for the group of terminally ill ex-sugar cane workers whom we were aiding during the final portion of our time in Nicaragua. I encourage everyone to check out the website we spent countless hours creating at ASOCHIVIDA.org! On our website you will be able to read about the terrible epidemic that is ruining their community, the impact that the deaths of thousands of workers has had, and the current negotiations underway between the workers and the factory with the assistance of the World Bank's alternative dispute resolution mechanism. You can also read personal narratives from the workers themselves about their experiences both working for the factory and discovering they are ill with Chronic Renal Failure. I apologize for the brevity of this blog post, but all I have to say has already been put into words on our website, again at ASOCHIVIDA.org.
