Nicaragua-Direct Information

Nicaragua-Direct was founded in 1996. This after a few visits by Jens C. Nielsen and a colleague, Jerome Drosos to teach Hospitality and Tourism related subjects at the then University of Mobile's satellite campus in San Marcos, Carazo. Now, with the support and assistance from his family, this project has become a focal point in retirement. Jens retired from Triton College, River Grove, IL in 2004 after 32 years of service. He still teaches a class or two each semester combining that with administering the humanitarian work in Nicaragua. In 2009, Mr. Robert M. Anthony went along for the first time and is now become a vital part of this project. Bob, likewise, is a retired Professor from Triton College and together they form a good team with the assistance of their families and trusted group in Nicaragua. We look at Nicaragua-Direct as being a privilege, as well as an opportunity, for us to serve in this way. - We are the facilitators who with the support of other caring individuals and some organizations are able to assist people in dire need. This effort will continue as long as we are able to and have the health and resources to carry on. It is our hope that you will consider joining us as we move forward. You will be rewarded for your efforts by knowing that your assistance are having a major impact on people whose life's we connect with and make changes to.
