Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:05:41 -0800 Nicaraguan charity work http://peticawatson.posterous.com/2009/12/15/nicaraguan-charity-work http://peticawatson.posterous.com/2009/12/15/nicaraguan-charity-work In 2003 I spent time working for a charity in Nicaragua. In this very poor village in the North, we toiled in heat and dust to create a community centre with the villagers. Their village is part of a Cooperative which used to produce sesame oil for The Body Shop, so they all asked me if I was friends with Anita Roddick. A year later, I met her to get a vox pop from her about plastic bags, and was able to convey their messages personally.. I had planned to make a film about them - but in the end I could not get a good enough camera, plus I was working far too hard to have spare time. Pity..but I did take 3000 photos.
