Do you know the history of Circulo de Amigas? Watch our video, directed and produced by dedicated sponsor, Roy McCord. While some circumstances of CdA have changed since this film was produced, its a wealth of information. Enjoy!
Círculo de Amigas is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides charitable and educational help to Jinotega, Nicaragua. Our mission is to alleviate poverty in Nicaragua by helping women acquire skills and tools needed to improve their lives; enabling children to go to school; providing access to community health services; and giving direct aid to victims of severe family hardship or regional crisis.

GoodSearch
What if Circulo de Amigas earned a donation every time you searched the Internet? Or how about if a percentage of every purchase you made online went to support our cause? Well, now it can!
GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up!
GoodShop.com is a new online shopping mall which donates up to 30 percent of each purchase to your favorite cause! Hundreds of great stores including (but not limited to) Target, Gap, Best Buy, eBay, Macy's and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and every time you place an order, you'll be supporting your favorite cause.
And if you download the Circulo de Amigas GoodSearch toolbar, our cause will earn money every time you shop and search online - even if you forget to go to GoodShop or GoodSearch first!

Sunday Mornings
On Sunday, December 5th, the Unitarian Universalist Church in Fullerton kindly invited us to sell our coffee, purses, and greeting cards after their morning service. We also presented information about girls who are waiting to find sponsors. We are so grateful for the support of the UUF church; we'll be there after service on December 12th and December 19th, as well - stop by and say hello! Here are a couple of photos from this past weekend:
Nora, working hard!
