     To understand who might be interested in investing with us it is important to know who we are.

     We are a family of four with one daughter living with her mother and going to school in Oakland California.

     I was working most of the last 17 years on rural development projects in the far north of Nicaragua which borders on Costa Rica.  Three years before the civil war ended in Nicaragua I joined with the Sandinista department of health and we started a very successful US based non-profit organization which originally was dedicated to assisting in health programs in the war zone near the Honduran border.  In 1990 the war was theoretically over and so our project privatized and we used the next 11 years attending to the logistical and physical needs of the Sumo and Miskito Indians of Jinotega Province.  During the last stages of The New River Bocay Project we simultaneously built a two room school house and health center in Okuli Village (Sumos), an electrified four room school house in Walakitan Village (Miskitos) and a 100ft animal and pedestrian suspension bridge in the mistizo village of Ayapal.

    I met my wife Modesta in the isolated mountain community of Bocay 6 hours off the paved roads into the north.  She at the time was an empirical school teacher in the war torn community.   She captured my heart many years before we got together.  My daughter Niki was born in San Jose, Costa Rica in 1990 and my daughter Irayda was born in Bocay in 1989

     After many years working in the isolated north I built my own house in the town of Jinotepe (25 miles south of Managua).  My son Larry was born in that house in 1998.

     Three years ago we sold our house in Nicaragua and returned to Heartsong getting my permanent residency reissued and Buying a lot in the near by town of Uvita where we have started construction on our motel/home.  We are 25% finished and need funds for the completion.

     We left Costa Rica for Santa Barbara, California December of 2003 in order to acquire my wifes US citizenship and fulfill her desire to become an international language instructor.  Our permanant return to Costa Rica will be in April of 2007.
