Review for Friends of Cantera Inc, Baton Rouge, LA, USA
I volunteered with Cantera for over two years, and I think that it's a wonderful organization! Cantera truly empowers adults, teenagers, and children in Nicaragua. I worked in rural areas, and it was clear that Cantera had a history of working with the community for sustainable development, economic opportunities and gender equity. Friends of Cantera provides financial support to Cantera's programs in a very important way - unlike money from grants, money from Friends of Cantera can be used to address community needs and initiatives as they arise. There is a relationship of learning and solidarity between Cantera and Friends of Cantera.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
The global financial crisis continues to limit funding and grant opportunities. More funding could be used to increase salaries and stipends of very dedicated coordinators and community promoters, as well for creative community initiatives.
