Pasta Dinner with Oscar & Margine

Lou Venturelli

On Thursday March 3th Lou Venturelli, a former Nicaraguan delegate on the agriculture team, held a Pasta Dinner to raise donations to benefit a student in Nicaragua he met on the trip last year. The dinner was wonderful! 

Lou made such yummy food! He made pasta, pizza on muffins, salad, rolls and dessert for everyone. Fortunately, Lou was able to raise some funds to send to his Nicaraguan friend.

Our guests of honor for the evening were Dr. Oscar Aragón, one of the founders of Alianza American, and Margine Hernandez.

Alianza American is a school which trains Nicaraguan people in English. Learning English provides the students at Alianza Americana with greater opportunities for future careers. Oscar and Margine were visiting from Nicaragua for 10 days and we were lucky enough to see them both before the trip!
