In the years since the 1980’s, a number of our colleagues and TecNica Volunteers have passed away. This page is dedicated to preserving their memory and the invaluable contributions that they made to TecNica and the Nicaraguan people or the people of Southern Africa. As we acquire more information and photographs, we will publish them here.
