ALUMNI ASSOCIATION NEWS, NOTES & EVENTS

NICARAGUAN YOUTHS MEET WITH CONDOLEZZA RICE — U. S. SECRETARY OF STATE
Ten secondary students, from nine provinces in Nicaragua, met with Condoleezza Rice in Washington, DC, in an intent to improve the image of the United States and to educate American families with the realities in Latin America. The students participating in this year’s encounter, called Young Ambassadors, are selected for their knowledge of the English language, for their work in the community, and have never traveled abroad. Since 2007 twenty five Nicaraguan students have participated in this program. This year two fourth year students from our Alma Mater were selected. They are: Vanely Williams, and Shawn Clair Sharp. Shawn is the son of Ignacia Sharp ’80. These young ambassadors visited Washington, DC on April 12, 2008
(Taken from El Nuevo Diario - April 18, 2008)

Editor’s Note: It is ironic that Ignacia Sharp, a teacher in the primary division, was denied a visa to attend her son’s graduation from college at the very moment that her son, Shawn Clair Sharp, was meeting with Condoleezza Rice in Washington, DC.

This recognition was given to the “May Pole Lady” for her contributions to the culture of the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua, promoting its patrimony and rescuing its authentic cultural values and traditions.

“Thanks to people like Miss Lizzie, the people of the Pacific Coast have come to respect and value the various ethnic groups of the Caribbean Region; their diversity and languages recognized and celebrated in the Constitution of the Republic of Nicaragua”, said Marenco.

In her acceptance speech Miss Lizzie said, “Her wishes have always been and continue to be the promotion and revitalization of the Caribbean culture. It is fundamental to create our own Institute of Culture where cultural activities can be carried out while we learn about our origins and traditions”.

After the official event, the Caribbean singer and composer, Phillip Montalvan, interpreted to the rhythm of May Pole the song “Bienvenida a Managua”, which Miss Lizzie danced with the Mayor.

Miss Lizzie was also invited to participate in the Carnaval de Managua 2008: “Alegría por la Vida”, where she was able to see the performances of the Old Ladies of Old Bank, Caribbean Stars of Beholden and the Cotton Tree Comparsa of Bluefields. The Old Ladies of Old Bank obtained the first place in the carnival.

From: Diana Kain ’62

Dear Steve: Thank you for sending me the Spring 2008 Newsletter. To read that my book was presented to the School Principal at the alumni banquet was very emotional. I am humbled.

Through you and Richard’s initiative, Hidden Tomorrows has re-linked me to my Alma Mater, after being disconnected from her for such a long time. Now I feel that I am one of the lucky ones who have found her way back home. I can’t recover lost ground, but I can surely go on from here.

I have made note of the information found at the end of the Newsletter. I have your mailing address so you will hear from me,

Thanks again, and have a nice week-end.

Diana
