The Rochester Magazine 10th anniversary issue.
One year ago this month The Friends Project opened the preschool in Las Minitas, Nicaragua.
On the newsstands today, the 10th anniversary issue of Rochester Magazine features a personal essay and lots of photos about our project!
It’s a celebration of community, collaboration and an intimate look at what it was like to build it beside the farmers.
Kool and the Gang had a good point: “Celebrate good times! Come on!”
Run to the newsstands and spread the word: Everyday people can make tremendous change — just ask us!
