We can help you keep up to date on what is happening in Nicaragua in terms of the human rights crisis. We post our newsletter and links to other sources of information. We also let you know about some of our fundraising activities.
We send out a newsletter no more than once a month. You can have it mailed to you by sending your name and e-mail to support@nicafamilysupport.org.

House concerts help us raise money for families of Nicaraguan prisoners of. Find a personal venue (inside or outside) and invite your friends and family to come hear a local artist. The price of admission is hearing a pitch for NSF. If you raise $600, you have supported a family for a year. You get in touch with people you haven't talked to in years and they are tons of fun.
Here is the first one we did, on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=2076471899221117).
