Drawing for dragonfruit (among other things)

Nuevas Esperanzas does amazing work to help rural families in Nicaragua achieve healthy, sustainable livelihoods--including helping farmers diversify they crops by planting drought-resistant fruits like dragonfruit and pineapple, but also through beekeeping, ecotourism, rainwater harvesting, and more.

In 2013, I lived and worked in Nicaragua with Nuevas Esperanzas for six months and learned what it was like to live on the slopes of an active volcano and have immense admiration for both the Nuevas Esperanzas team and the people they serve. 

Please help Nuevas Esperanzas continue to do this work by supporting their campaign to recognize 15 years of service to Nicaragua. They are trying to raise $15,000 for these 15 incredible years.  

As a thank you, if you donate $20 or more through this page, I will send you a thank you card featuring a sketch of the famous Cathedral of León where Nuevas Esperanzas works, hand drawn by yours truly. 

If you donate $50 or more through this page, I'll send you a pack of three 3"x5" folding note cards + envelopes featuring other sketches I've done of churches and cathedrals around Latin America printed on fine art watercolor paper and blank on the inside for you to use as your own thank you notes and stationery. 

And--if you donate $200 or more through this page, I will sketch a scene or building of your choice - it could be your home, your church, your office, a special location to you, just send me a photo - and I will ship to you custom-printed cards of the sketch.
