On Friday, Sept. 11, 2009, at a private reception held at Joseph Phelps Vineyards in St. Helena, California, we announced that Clinica Verde had met Joseph Phelps’ $150,000 matching grant challenge to help us complete construction of our clinic in Boaco, Nicaragua. Congressman Mike Thompson, above left, was on hand to hear the announcement and greet Joe Phelps (right). We were so honored by the attendance of our esteemed U.S. representative and his awesome wife Janet, and will be forever grateful to Joe Phelps for his compassionate leadership and commitment to our work.

Only $80,000 to go to be able to complete clinic construction! Thanks to our hard-working board of directors and amazing supporters for taking this journey with us!
