Everyone at Superemos was extremely sad to learn of the passing of Cele Meyer. Cele supported the work of Superemos from its inception in 1999 immediately after the devastation caused by Hurricane Mitch across northern Nicaragua in October 1998. At that time Cele and her colleagues of the De Kalb Inter Faith Network raised thousands of dollars to support our relief and reconstruction work. Subsequently, Cele and the De Kalb Inter Faith Network team supported our health care and education work enabling us to stabilize our programs during what was a time of great insecurity for us. Cele also facilitated other funding relationships which have enabled us to sustain our community work for over twenty years now. But apart from that practical funding support, Cele and her husband Axel were also a tremendous source of moral inspiration through their uncompromising commitment to Peace in the world. We are very grateful to Cele and Axel for all they have given us and continue to give us by virtue of their enduring, transcendent example of love and solidarity with people everywhere, especially here in Nicaragua.
