Nicaragua : Baseball Equipment Donation from Vancouver Minor Baseball Association
"The Vancouver Minor Baseball Association was one of a few associations that donated gear,but Vancouver by far was the most generous, and please do pass this letter on to the association, as it would not have happened with out their generosity and Donny Provenzano promoting it so well for me. We will be sending the container if all goes well by the end of October at the latest. My 3 grown sons and I will leave Dec 14th to head to Nicaragua to finish the field. We will play the first game with the locals - Canada against Nica, and I am quite sure they will kick our butts. But that's ok!!!!
One thing Don Montgomery of Monty's Beach Lodge is looking forward to with this new field is to invite the world to play. His vision is to have teams come to Nicaragua, with the coaches volunteering some time to hold clinics for the local youth, with a mini tournament to finish it off. I hope you - the Vancouver Minor Baseball Association would consider something like this down the road. It is a safe place to travel to and would be such an experience for our young boys and their coaches to go through. I am hoping to generate some easy and fun ways to fund raise to help teams raise money for airfare to get there, so keep this in mind, and maybe we can get your talented (so Donny tells me) boys on a life changing experience that would certainly stay with them for life....
Donny Provenzano ,also say a big thank you to the mom who gave you bags and bags of clothes... These clothes are a nice added bonus going on the container. Once again Thank - You All so much for this wonderful gift that is going to Jiquilillo, Nicaragua."
