Welcome to the website of the Richland Center-Santa Teresa Sister City Project. Our organization was established to promote people-to-people relationships between Richland Center, Wisconsin, and the municipality of Santa Teresa in Nicaragua. Most of our contributions go toward supplying agricultural, medical, legal and educational aid to the residents of the Chacocente region. Recent projects have included the construction of latrines, wells, and a school building, beekeeping and agricultural inputs, health training and medical supplies.

Another Successful Burrito Supper

We're happy to report that the Oct 23 Burrito Supper benefit raised almost $2000 to support the SCP. From all appearances, everyone had an enjoyable evening. Our thanks to those who helped make it all happen, and to everyone who attended.

Alerta Verde: Las tortugas tambien lloran

Submitted by Arroyoribera on Sat, 2010-01-02 20:37.

In the program "Alerta Verde: Las tortugas tambien lloran" on TeleSURtv.org, I just saw the lancha (boat), Hermandad Wisconsin, donated by this project in 1999.

According to the 'guardabosca' they interviewed, he can only watch from the beach as the turtles are caught at sea because he has no fuel and therefore can not actively monitor the waters of the coast.

The report will be rebroadcast tonight (Saturday 1/2/10) at 11 PM -- (Sunday 2:30 AM in Venezuela).
