Pictured left: Children from the El Roblar community in Nicaragua and Kristina A. Lutes with Jeanne Ross Atchinson. Kids Share Workshops, Inc. brought 30 donated raincoats from Vermont. All the children were thrilled to own their first raincoat. The cloud forest can be very cool and damp, so many children were using garbage bags or banana leaves to keep dry. Many thanks to parents and the Salvation Army in Barre!
Pictured: Children and teachers at the River Rock School in Montpelier and Kids Share Workshops volunteers, Jeanne, Kristina and Sandra. Many of these children donated their hand-me-down raincoats for the children of El Roblar. Thank you River Rock Kids!
