Alice, Michelle Janke, Marlee Fischer, and Nora Berson participated in the Nicaragua Sister Partnership Delegation. Since 1993, OSCA has had the privilege of working in solidarity with the National Union of Farmers and Ranchers, or UNAG, in the impoverished, drought-stricken region of San Juan de Limay, Nicaragua. Each year, students in OSCA vote to send between two and five thousand dollars to support a micro-loan fund for unionized female farmers. Every other Winter Term, OSCA sends a small delegation to Nicaragua to live with the women, understand their struggles firsthand and strengthen our relationship. Alice and the rest of the delegation wrote about their journey here: oscanicsis.blogspot.com/
