We’re grateful for the help of Nicole Gadaleta, our volunteer media specialist, who has left Managua after spending a month and a half with our training team. Nicole contributed both her time and her media experience to help document our work and develop training materials.

Nicole will be missed, but her skill, her care, and her discretion in documenting our training sessions, technical support, and the early days of our new office in Managua will serve the organization for years to come. We wish Nicole best of luck in her continued work.

We’re proud to announce that TACA, the leading airline of Central America, has donated $25,000 in airfare to Whole Child International for 2008. This will cover most or all of our central American travel for the year, and will significantly reduce the cost of our programming.

Grupo TACA CEO Roberto Kriete and the rest of the rapidly expanding carrier have our sincerest thanks. Their support is making it possible for us to conduct and expand our services while continuing adequate oversight and further maximizing the impact of other donors’ contributions. We know this is just the beginning of a rewarding partnership with TACA Airlines.
