	WCCN's History - Wisconsin Coordinating Council on Nicaragua (WCCN)
		Wisconsin and Nicaragua have been official "sister states" since the 1960s, and WCCN's mission and activities build on that historic relationship.

		WCCN's loan fund project began in 1991 as the Nicaraguan Community Development Loan Fund (NCDLF), a partnership between WCCN and the Nicaraguan Council of Protestant Churches (CEPAD).

		MANAGUA, Nicaragua -- Seventy-one-year-old Cecile Meyer, a retired school social worker who lives in De Kalb, Ill., is investing in the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and in a country that has the highest per capita foreign debt in the world -- Nicaragua.
		Nicaragua also owes money not only to traditionally capitalist Western lenders, but more than one-third of Nicaragua's debt -- around $4 billion -- is owed to countries from the former socialist bloc.
