Quezalguaque, Nicaragua is Brookine's Sister City. Over the years the project has built a health center, recently expanded with an emergency suite and birthing center, a large library, housing, a school. We also do many projects in health and education like our on-going research on renal failure in the area. Groups of volunteers from here travel to Quezalguaque to participate in projects and live with families there for periods of a week to months.
Everything is totally volunteer, there is no paid staff and every penny raised goes towards building a better life for our sister city together.
