8 February - Your emails are working!

We have received copies of more than 500 emails directed to Rosario Murillo, the First Lady of Nicaragua, and with all of the other work that many people are doing, it is having a positive effect. Thank You! Rosario called our office today, saying that she'd received some emails and a phone call, and would like to arrange a meeting for us first thing Monday morning. But at 9AM on Monday morning, thanks to other contacts, we have an appointment with the folk at the US Embassy in Managua who deal with property disputes, so we were able to tell her that. We then arranged through Rosario for a 10:30 AM meeting on Monday with Hernan Estrada, the Attorney General of Nicaragua! She said they wanted to talk to us and see how they can help. This is excellent news!
