More information about the area is available in Spanish at Nicaragua Online . The Concord-San Marcos Sister Cities Program is a town effort to encourage peace and understanding through cultural exchange between Concord and San Marcos, Nicaragua. The program was established in 1986 by a vote of Town Meeting and reaffirmed in the Town Meeting vote of 1987. The Committee which manages the program is a member of the Concord-Carlisle Human Rights Council. Support for the program depends entirely on volunteers and donations.
Swing dances are open to anyone interested in the big band sound and the great dancing it inspired.
Beginners and singles are welcome. Current donations are focused on providing micro-banking loans to cottage industries in San Marcos. In the past years these loans have assisted many women and men who sell grains, small appliances, clothing and staples locally or have small shops, such as a bicycle repair shop. The fund is administered by a committee in San Marcos in coordination with the Concord-San Marcos Sister Cities Committee in Concord. If we can do that, we'll be laying the foundations for a poverty-free world.
