Roberto,

I have Sr. Pabloff's 2006 Christmas box list from the community of Zorrillo. It has a total of 275 needy families. Each family has an average of five children. That would average out to be 1375 children.

I would imagine that the indigenous community of Maneadero would be about the same size as that of Zorrillo. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

That's a lot of bare feet.

P<*)))><

Thanks, Paulina. That's the kind of ballpark I was looking for. Believe it or not, I have a plan, though not completely developed. Let me know if you are interested in the details.

Bajaguy, I appreciate the sentiment. But, I don't do this kind of thing in "public". Maybe I'll set up something like a website or mailing list for those that are really interested. I just don't want it to turn into a Nomad thread, where folks can take gratuitous potshots.

In the meantime, please U2U me, and I will take notes. Can't commit to anything, and this may fizzle out, but I want to check out some things before I put my foot in my mouth. At least now I have a rough feeling of the dimension of the problem.

Agua Viva services about 130 children 5 days a week. That is the group we are targeting with the bikes.
