Joining Hands: Juntos Somos Un Volcan An evening of revolutionary music & stories from Nicaragua presented by the Thurston-Santo Tomas Sister County Association

Join us for this gala event as three community organizers from Santo Tomas, Chontales, Nicaragua share music and stories of their lives.

Rosa Aura Guerrero, lead singer for the Nicaraguan band Nuevo Amanecer & coordinator of the Santo Tomas Children’s Free Lunch Program. Facunda Zeledon, teacher at Lincoln Elementary’s sister school, Ruben Dario. Doctora Maria Salvadora, People’s Clinic in Santo Tomas.

Lincoln Elementary students will perform Baile Folklorico (traditional Nicaraguan dances) and join in several songs.

The three women, the eighth delegation from Santo Tomas, will be visiting Olympia from April 19 – May 11 as we work together to strengthen our 17 year sister city relationship. TSTSCA is one of hundreds of sister city organizations which formed in direct response to undeclared US wars in Central America in the 1970’s & 80’s. These cross-border exchanges bring great benefit to both sides, as communities share resources, organizing tactics, hope and humanity, building bridges, not fences.

Doors open at 6 pm, Show starts at 6:30 Refreshments will be served following the performance.
