On Tuesday, Aug. 19, Boaco Mayor Vivian Orozco signed the deed that finalized his donation of 1 manzana (1.75 acres) of land for the construction of Clínica Verde. By the following morning our project manager in Nicaragua had met with local architects and was lining up tests for soil and water absorption. We're ready to move forward!

A special thanks to Cristiana Chamorro Lacayo, Antonio Lacayo, Johny Siman, Dr. Armando Incer and his family, and Xiomara Valverde for representing us in Nicaragua and helping to see that this process was completed. We are extraordinarily fortunate to have such strong partners and supporters in Nicaragua.

And thanks to all of you who have believed in and supported this project from the beginning. We look forward to working together to build a clinic that brings health and hope to families in need in this area of the world!

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Clark~Claudon Vineyards. Clark~Claudon has chosen Clínica Verde as one of three charitable outreach programs to benefit from their Cabernet to Care Movement. 50% of proceeds from your purchase of their 2004 Estate Cabernet will be donated to building our environmentally sustainable health clinic. That translates to $468 for every case sold, or $39 per bottle. This is stellar Cabernet from a highly respected family winery in the Napa Valley. It's a chance for you to buy superb wine while serving a global cause. Support Clínica Verde by purchasing Clark~Claudon Estate Cabernet. And please share the news with your friends!

Clínica Verde: Supported by Members of the U.S. House and Senate

Sometimes people ask us, "Why are you building your prototype in Nicaragua? Why not do your work here in the United States?" We have answers to that, but so do some of our supporters who urgently understand the importance of global humanitarian work for the safety and image of our country.

"As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I understand the importance of diplomatic relations, and I applaud your efforts to spread a positive image of the United States abroad." Read this quote and others from a U.S. Senator and two Congressmen who support the work of Clínica Verde to build a sustainable health clinic abroad.

Just another reminder that the Clif Bar Family Foundation has issued a matching grant challenge of $25,000.

That means for every dollar you donate to Clínica Verde up to $25,000, Clif Bar will match your donation. Help us meet Clif Bar's challenge. If 500 people give just $50 we can reach that figure, and your dollar will be doubled. Your donation will help to bring health and hope to women and children in need. We are so grateful for your generosity!
