Nicaragua is the 2nd poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and many people we will be working with, are still living in “garbage dump” conditions after Hurricane Mitch devastated the area in 1998.

If you are interested in going on one of COLOR MY WORLD’s next mission trips let me know. “Many hands make light work!”

P.S. We appreciate the support we received in our Hurricane Sandy Hygiene kit project that brought in over $30,000 in Hygiene Kits and Towels that we delivered directly to the disaster area.

“Solar cooking is the simplest, safest, most convenient way to cook food without consuming fuels or heating up the kitchen. Many people choose to solar cook for these reasons. But for hundreds of millions of people around the world who cook over fires fueled by wood or dung, and who walk for miles to collect wood or spend much of their meager incomes on fuel, solar cooking is more than awomen carrying wood choice — it is a blessing.

For millions of people who lack access to safe drinking water and become sick or die each year from preventable waterborne illnesses, solar water pasteurization is a life-saving skill. There are numerous reasons to cook the natural way — with the sun.”

Color My World has introduced Solar Cooking in Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
