Dear Friends of Brookline-Quezalguaque Sister City Project,
After a successful year of fundraising in 2025, the library roof was replaced and the semi-annual operating costs were sent for the Health Center for petty cash, gasoline for the ambulance, and mosquito control; the Library and Art Classes, Pipitos, and Scholarships for 5 students. We were also able to install Solar Panels at a MABE (rural water system) and new toilets and washbasins at a rural school.
However, the situation in Nicaragua has grown more complex in recently, and we need to share this information with our donors. We are unable to transfer funds to Quezalguaque at present; therefore, we are no longer accepting contributions.
We thank you again for your generosity in 2025, and we sincerely hope that the situation improves. The townspeople have benefitted greatly from your support in the areas of health, education, sanitation, and clean water. We will keep you updated on future developments.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Carol Pineiro, President
Board Member: Eloise Biscoe, Sarah Johnson (Clerk), Peter Moyer, Judy Paradis, Richard Segan, Sibyl Senters (Treasurer), Maxine Shaw, Joanna Sullivan, and Lois Statlender
