Through ALBA, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of our America, Nicaragua is building
a new social/economic order balancing the individual with the collective, founded on justice, cooperation and care for the Earth. Thus, despite the radical impoverishment imposed by
centuries of exploitation, ongoing, Nicaragua has free health care, free education through high school, land reform, close to 50% women in government. It is one of the few countries that will accomplish the Millennium Development Goals. In addition Nicaragua is Latin America’s safest country and copes magnificently with (un)natural disasters.
Can the 'Me First World' learn from Nicaragua’s example? Will we?"
