Several years ago I was fortunate enough to climb Volcan Telica in Nicaragua and meet some of the people that Neuvas Esperanzus works with along the way – it was a long climb, (not helped by jet lag!) but such an amazing experience to stand and witness a live volcano! Equally amazing were the stories I heard from people who’s lives have been transformed through the dedication and expertise of Neuvas Esperanzus.

Right now, in these strange and uncertain times, few of us will be climbing physical volcanoes, or even small mountains closer to home – but the need on the slopes of Telica is as great as ever. I will be climbing the height of Volcan Telico (1069m) as many times as I can between 1^st and 15^th November using my stairs, local hills – wherever I can find steps or an incline! Please sponsor me as an encouragement!
