Hey there. My name is Joe Maggiore, I’m 17, and I’m a traveler.
I live in Manalapan, New Jersey and I’m the founder and director of an organization called Beats for a Cause (watch some videos too). Over about two years, Beats for a Cause has been able to raise about $1,200 for other charities and non-profit organizations. One non-profit organization in particular is Surgeons of Hope. Surgeons of Hope strives to create a world in which every infant and child with a damaged heart has an equal opportunity to receive life-saving surgery. After donating hundreds of dollars to this organization, it’s my turn to see where the money is going to!
I will be traveling to Managua, Nicaragua and I will be staying there for two weeks. During my solitary stay there, I will be in coordination with Philippe Lerch. I’m excited to see where this journey will take me, and I hope you follow along and live vicariously through my blog! All the pictures and videos that you see on the blog will be provided by yours truly! Enjoy!
Ready. Set. Managua!
