On July 19th, 1979, the Sandinista people’s revolution in Nicaragua overthrew the brutal dictator Somoza and made the world dream.

The construction of a new, more social and fairer society “between the blocs” seems possible. Tens of thousands from all over the world travel to the small Central American country to support the young government and rebuild the plundered country.

Over 15,000 supporters from what was then West Germany alone made their way to the small Central American country. They harvest coffee and cotton in international brigades and build schools, kindergartens and health centers to rebuild the battered country. Buying “Nica coffee” becomes a symbol of international solidarity with the country.
