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).
