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!
