Sealth student organizing benefit for Nicaragua hurricane victims

| How to help | West Seattle news | West Seattle people

That’s TONNULL, one of three bands – along with One Class Lady and Echo9 – ready to rock Youngstown Cultural Arts Center this Saturday as a benefit for hurricane victims in Nicaragua. Desiree e-mailed to let us know about the concert, which she says is Chief Sealth International High School student Kathryn Purcell‘s senior project. The concert is set for 7:30-11 pm January 7 at Youngstown, admission $7, benefiting the rural Nicaraguan community of El Quebrachal, where Hurricane Rina caused major damage to homes and school facilities earlier this fall. Find more information on this Facebook page set up for Kathryn’s project.

Did you know that the only hurricane to ever “hit” the Pacific coast of Nicaragua directly was named “Alma”, and it hit May 28,2008. We here at the Playa Roca Beach Hotel in Las Penitas-Leon, have still not recovered totally from it’s horrifying effects, as it leveled 85% of our premises.
Since N. Nicaragua is not widely promoted it had very little International exposure, and relief never came. See some of the pictures taken that day and the aftermath.
