Potters for Peace can link your friend up with potters in Nicaragua, and
through PFP's coordinator in Managua, Ron Rivera, there are contacts with
potters in Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica & Mexico. Ron can be
reached on e-mail at Also, PFP will soon have
its own web page on the internet, probably named p4p.org

You can contact PFP's North American coordinator, Barb Donachy at


All the best,
