Thanks so much to everyone for your donations. The silent auction raised $711! You guys are amazing! I went shopping ans we ended up with close to 70 toys overall! My lobby was completely full! We split the toys between Toys for Tots and the Roanoke Storehouse. They were so excited to hear of Rotary's generous donation. It warms my heart to think of all the excited giggles and happy dances that happened on Christmas morning thanks to all of you ;) Nikki Thornton |

El Limonal is located on the outskirts of the city of Chinandega, Nicaragua. The area is known as the triangle of death, because it is surrounded by the sewer system of Chinandega, the city dump and a large graveyard. It is septic and dangerous.
