Dear Readers;
Many of you know that I am working in Nicaragua right now on a very important project. So important that I am in Managua the week of my 11th wedding anniversary. Well, being in Managua, I was spared the ravages of Hurricane Felix that recently passed over the Northeastern coast of this wonderful country, making thousands of mostly indigenous people homeless, and killing others, including a toddler.

The following email is from a good friend of mine here in Managua, and the owner of one of the countries most promising call centers. Please assist if you can, and if you are uncomfortable giving via a private company, please donate to the International Red Cross, and make sure your money is earmarked to help the victims of this human tragedy.

I am depending on your generosity. Even small donations of $5-10 will help.

Thank You,

David
