It’s the time of the year to celebrate all that we have to be thankful for. This year, we’re grateful for the chance to help the Department of Health in Jinotega. With a generous donation of two dental x-ray machines from Huntington Beach dentist, Dr. Ken Yabuki, as well as Jorge Obregon of MTom Tours, who has donated space in a shipment heading to Nica, we’re helping Jinotega in a big way!  We’re also sending down two gently-used Dell computer towers donated by Treasurer Liz Morton.

For procuring donations and coordinating transport, CdA extends a special thank you to hardworking volunteers, Roy McCord and Nora Pedersen.  Above, you can see Roy flexing his muscles after working diligently to pack these complicated machines.  Not only did Roy pack all of these delicate items, he also built the wooden boxes they’re being shipped in.  You don’t get much more dedicated than that!  Thank you, Roy and Nora!
